Sojka Pavilion: The Place to Be
Bucknell’s recent hoops success has captured the imagination of the campus
and surrounding communities, so much so that the Bison have attracted one
of the best home-court advantages in the nation. Some Sojka facts:
Sojka Pavilion, Bucknell’s home since 2003, has attracted frequent sellout crowds, and
the Bison have led the Patriot League in attendance in each of the last eight seasons.
Bucknell crowds are led by “The Sojka Psychos” student section, clad in all orange behind
both baskets.
The spirited crowds have helped the Bison to an 112-33 record in Sojka Pavilion, including
a 78-15 mark against Patriot League competition.
Bucknell had a 38-game home winning streak against Patriot League foes that spanned
five seasons.
Major-conference foes Villanova and Wake Forest have visited Sojka Pavilion in recent
years. The Villanova game attracted a standing-room-only crowd of 4,433, which remains
the largest ever to see a basketball game on the Bucknell campus. Wake Forest was the
first ACC team ever to play at Bucknell. In 2014-15, the Bison will host Penn State at Sojka
Pavilion.
Twenty-seven nationally televised games have been aired from Sojka Pavilion, including
the telecasts of the 2006, 2011, 2012 and 2013 Patriot League championship games.
Bucknell played 12 regular-season home games in 2012-13. Among the visitors to Sojka
Pavilion were traditional mid-major powers George Mason, Kent State and La Salle.
A total of 427,142 fans have watched men’s basketball games at Sojka so far.
