Next Up - Bucknell

Duke takes on the Bucknell Bison on Friday and while Bucknell is off its high point of several years ago, they’re still dangerous.

Bucknell has a history. Here’s some cool trivia: the last Bucknell coach to have a losing career record?

Jim Valvano, between 1972-1975, before he moved on to Iona.

Pat Flannery had a career record of 234-178 and Dave Paulsen went 134-94. Nathan Davis, who was let go last year, finished 139-115 and won the Patriot League regular season title from 2015-2019.Those winning percentages are .568, 588 and .547. It might not sound that great, but consistent success in the Patriot League is not easy.
