Bryan Cohen scored 12 points and Mike Muscala added 11 points and 10 rebounds as Bucknell defeated Army 78-64 on Saturday in the regular-season finale for both teams.

The Bison (22-8, 13-1 Patriot League) shot just 9 for 24 from the field (37.5 percent) in the opening half but still held a 30-22 advantage at the break, thanks to a dismal shooting effort by the Black Knights.

Army (11-18, 3-11) missed 15 of its first 16 field goal attempts and both of its first two free throws. Jeremy Hence ended both droughts at the 8:37 mark of the first half with a three-point play that pulled the Black Knights to 12-5.

Hence finished with 26 points and Ella Ellis added 22 for Army, which has lost seven straight and 10 of 11.
