Break's over for Bison, Knights
Two games on tap this afternoon; one that actually matters. Bucknell ends a 12-day break for finals with a trip to Ithaca to meet Cornell in the annual battle of the 'nells. Also back in action: Army hosting Division 3 SUNY Purchase.


Ealier in the season, the Bucknell-Cornell matchup looked a lot more interesting. Cornell won three of its first four, including an opening-night win over Northwestern of the Big Ten. The Big Red also beat Army in that span (the loss came at Lehigh). But star guard Adam Gore went down for the season with a torn ACL on Nov. 14 and since the, Cornell has struggled, going 2-4.

Cornell's record could be a little deceiving, though. Toss out a 19-point loss at Lehigh, and the three other losses came by a combined 8 points, the widest margin being a 5-point overtime loss at William & Mary the last time out (Dec. 2).

Bucknell has won the last three meetings between the two, including an 83-39 shellacking last season that you can bet Cornell would love to avenge.
