In response to Bison137
Interesting twitter tidbit:
"Bucknell is one of 14 D-I teams with 5 players with double-figure scoring averages.
The others: Coastal Carolina, UConn, Geo. Wash., Georgia Southern, Gonzaga, Kent St., Kentucky, LSU, Nicholls St., NC St., Texas Tech, Wagner & Western Kentucky."

It will be tough to maintain this mark, since Funk (10.4 ppg) and Meeks (10.3 ppg) are barely above the threshold.
I was curious when the last Bison team had five or more 10+ ppg scorers. Not surprisingly, you have to go back to Charlie Woollum's last season: Simpson (20.5), Anderson (14.8), Hamer (11.9), Golden (11.6), and Mboya (10.5). Raymond Brown almost made it six in double figures, averaging 9.6 ppg. The 1992 team came close, but you have to go back to 1989 to find the next time this was done - and that team had six in double figures: Butts, Joseph, Aceto, Heiden, Watson, and Leggett all between 10.6 ppg and 14.1 ppg. The previous year they had five: Butts, Joseph, Aceto, Watson, and Heiden.
The 1968 team barely missed having five, but the only other time it happened in Bison history was in 1955.
