Bucknell hosts Holy Cross in conference action. On the heels of a five-game winning streak, Bucknell has suddenly dropped back-to-back games against Colgate and Lafayette. Still, the Bison enter play on Wednesday tied for the Patriot League lead with Colgate. Holy Cross meanwhile, is coming off an impressive upset win at home over Colgate after losing two straight. These two teams met back on January 10 where Holy Cross won an OT game on its home floor. Expect Bucknell to get some revenge in this meeting.

Here are my keys to game:

Bucknell strong in league play- The Bison are 7-4 in conference play and with a win will tie Colgate for the top record in the Patriot league. Holy Cross meanwhile is 4-7 in league play.

Holy Cross road woes- The Crusaders are just 1-8 on the road this season. The Bison are 8-3 at home in comparison. Bucknell has won the last two meetings on its' home court.

X-Factor- Chris Hass is Bucknell's leading scorer at 16.6 ppg, and he has been shooting very well in recent weeks, despite an off night at Lafayette on Wednesday. Hass has hit at least four 3-pointers in four of his last six games.

Selection: This is a 1* free play on Bucknell
