The Bucknell Bison men's basketball team represents Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania in NCAA Division I competition. The school's team competes in the Patriot League and plays home games in Sojka Pavilion. Former Bucknell star John Griffin III was appointed the program's 22nd head coach on March 21, 2023.
Bucknell began varsity intercollegiate competition in men's basketball in 1896. The Bison were retroactively ranked as the top team for the 1900–01 season by the Premo-Porretta Power Poll, an unofficial, mathematical ranking system of the pre-NCAA tournament era (pre-1939); the ranking is not officially recognized by the NCAA. In the tournament era, the Bison have appeared eight times in the NCAA tournament, most recently in 2018.
