LEWISBURG, Pa. – Hours after sweeping Patriot League weekly honors, the Boston University men's basketball team used a pair of career efforts to stun defending conference champion and preseason favorite Bucknell, 84-79, on Tuesday night at Sojka Pavilion.

Senior Will Goff torched the Bison (7-8, 1-1 PL) with a career-high five 3-pointers en route to a personal-best 17 points off the bench, while sophomore Tyler Scanlon claimed his first-ever double-double with a career-high 10 rebounds and 14 points. Senior and reigning PL Player of the Week Cedric Hankerson added 21 points and four assists, as the Terriers (6-7, 2-0 PL) snapped Bucknell's 15-game home win streak, which was the seventh longest active mark in the nation.
