As we suggested in our preview, Bucknell is a basketball school with a proud history and we didn't think they would roll over easily.
And in fact they hung with Duke a fairly long time Friday evening, with Duke only up 33-29 with 3:33 left in the first half.
But an 11-0 run in that last 3:33 put Duke up 44-29 at the half and that proved to be a bridge too far for the Bison to thunder across.
But before that happened, and really after, Bucknell played with pride, heart and pretty clearly is a well-coached team.
