Wake Forest topped UMBC 78-73 on Friday night, but coach Danny Manning said he wanted improvement on the defensive end for this game. "We have to do a much better job of guarding the basketball and being in strong help," said Manning. Wake Forest went 3-for-20 from 3-point range, but outrebounded UMBC 59-36. They face a Bucknell team that is 4-0 UNDER the total in non-conference games and 4-0 UNDER against an opponent with a winning percentage above .600. In last year's meeting, Bucknell missed 18 of its first 19 shots before its second-rally fell short in a 60-53 defeat. This will be a defensive game, as well, and the total is far too high. Play UNDER the total in this one.
