ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The Navy men's basketball team (18-12, 9-8 PL) will host first-place Bucknell (16-12, 13-4 PL) on Saturday at 4:00 PM at Alumni Hall. Saturday's game is Senior Day and the men's basketball program will honor seniors Tilman Dunbar, Will Kelly and Kendall Knorr in a pregame ceremony on Saturday.

Saturday's game will have free live streaming video on the Patriot League Network and on navysports.com. Pete Medhurst and Michael Heary will have the radio call on the Navy Radio Network on 1430 AM / 99.9 FM WNAV and on wnav.com. Live statistics will also be available.

Saturday's game against Bucknell is Navy's final Patriot League regular season contest of the 2015-16 season. Navy enters Saturday's game in a three-way tie for fourth place in the Patriot League with Colgate and Army West Point.

Navy will earn the No. 3 or No. 4 seed with a win over Bucknell, unless Boston University and Colgate also both win, which would leave the Mids at No. 5. Navy can still finish as the No. 4 seed with a loss if both Army West Point and Colgate lose and Loyola beats American. The Mids would fall to No. 7 and have to play in the first round if they lose and American wins.

The top six seeds get a bye in to the Patriot League Quarterfinal on Thursday, March 3. The bottom four seeds play in the Patriot League First Round on Tuesday, March 1.
