Another tale of two halves for the Bison, who again started slow and finished fast in winning their ninth straight.
Colgate jumped to an early 16-5 lead and held Bucknell to 8 field goals (8-25, 32 percent) in the first half, taking a 28-20 lead at the break. Bucknell missed its first seven shots and 15 of its first 17. Bucknell also struggled at the foul line, going 3 for 9 in the first half.
The second half, though, was a different story, with Bucknell hitting 14 of 21 (66.7 percent) from the field and 16-19 at the free throw line to pull away.
The Bison also tightened up on defense after the intermission. After allowing Colgate to hit 10 of 22 (45.5 percent) including 5 of 8 from the three-point arc, Bucknell limited the Raiders to 7 second half field goals on 21 tries (33.3 percent), including 3 of 13 from three-point range. Colgate also turned the ball over 23 times.
Colgate actually led by as many as 12 early in the second half, taking a 32-20 lead following a pair of Kyle Roemer free throws on a technical on Bucknell coach Pat Flannery. Then the Bison went on a 16-2 run to tie it and went on to the win.
Roemer led all scorers with 19 points. Todd Checovich added 10 off the Colgate bench.
Bucknell had four guys in double figures, led by Kevin Bettencourt's 17. Charles Lee (13), Abe Badmus (10) and Chris McNaughton (12) were also in doubles for the Bison, who have now won 13 in a row against Patriot League foes, dating to last season.
It was Flannery's 100th Patriot League win.
