In response to SteelCity

SteelCity Said:

Non-conference schedule is coming tomorrow. Looks like it's going to be a tough one.

The @Bucknell_MBB slate is going to be another doozy. Our 9 non-conference opponents (not counting possible foes at the Diamond Head Classic) combined for a .641 winning percentage (.700 in conference play) last season. #rayBucknell

If we assume St. Joes and La Salle are definite, then this is the record of the eight known opponents:

Teams . - Total - . - Conference -

monmouth . 11 - 20 . 7 - 11
northeastern . 23 - 10 . 14 - 4
st joes . 16 - 16 . 10 - 8
ohio state . 25 - 9 . 15 - 3
vermont . 27 - 8 . 15 - 1
st mary's . 30 - 6 . 16 - 2
nebraska . 22 - 11 . 13 - 5
la salle . 13 - 19 . 7 - 11
.
TOTALS . 167 - 99 . 97 - 45
.
Total Pct. . . . 0.628 . . . 0.683

The only problem with this is that there is no team whose overall record and conference record from last year would produce the percentages cited in the tweet. There are three that are extermely close but miss by one decimal place in one category: Penn, Buffalo, and St. Bonaventure. So either the Bison math is slightly off or else one of the opponents on our list is not accurate. Or one other possibility would be if the records used by Bucknell to make the calculation don't include NCAA tournament games - although I doubt that is the case.
