Bucknell got off to a fast start, quickly reaching a double-digit lead due to BU scoring just one field goal over the first seven minutes. The Bison reached their largest lead of the game mid-way through the first half, topping the Terriers 19-3 with 10 minutes left before halftime.

BU staged a comeback, however, going on a 10-0 run in the final 10 minutes to go into halftime with a 19-15 deficit.

The second half was marked by even play, with both teams exchanging runs through the first 10 minutes of the period but the Bison began to pull away with seven minutes left to play, reaching a 15-point advantage. The Terriers answered with a 9-0 run to cut the lead to six points with four minutes to play.

BU kept it the deficit to single digits for the rest of the game but their late efforts weren't enough to erase the Bison's early lead and the Terriers settled for a 65-60 loss in their home finale.

The Terriers are back in action on Wednesday when they make their way to Army for a 7 p.m. tipoff.
