FORT MYERS, Fla. (Interstat) — The undefeated Buffalo Bulls look to extend their hot start when they face the struggling Bucknell Bison in a non-conference men’s basketball game Wednesday at Florida SouthWestern State.

Buffalo (6-0) is coming off a 78-70 road win over Virginia Military Institute on Monday. Noah Batchelor and Daniel Freitag led the way with 15 and 17 points, respectively, while Ezra McKenna nearly recorded a double-double with 8 points and 10 rebounds. The Bulls’ perfect record includes notable victories over Vermont and DePaul.

Conversely, Bucknell (2-5) seeks to halt a four-game skid after falling 71-66 at Bowling Green on Monday. Despite the loss, Amon Dörries scored a game-high 22 points for the Bison. Bucknell’s season has been marked by challenging road games, including lopsided losses to power-conference opponents Pittsburgh and Saint John’s.

The neutral-site contest in Fort Myers presents a stark contrast in early-season momentum. Buffalo’s high-scoring offense will test a Bucknell team that has struggled defensively, particularly during its current losing streak. The Bulls will rely on their balanced attack, while the Bison hope Dörries can provide enough firepower to pull off an upset.

Following this game, Buffalo travels to face Canisius on Saturday. Bucknell returns home to host Cornell on Sunday.
