Obviously, the gap between the major conferences and the less publicized conferences is narrowing, and in the case of Bucknell, essentially has disappeared. The Bison have the same starting five that beat Kansas in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in March and also beat Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh early last season when the Panthers were ranked No. 10. Syracuse was well aware of how good Bucknell is, but lost nonetheless.
