Boston (14-7, 7-1 Patriot League) led by 20 with 8 minutes to play but Bucknell went on a 28-9 run to cut its deficit to 59-58 on a 3-pointer by Chris Hass with 19 seconds left.
Papale then hit three of four free throws and Watson Jr. made a layup to help the Terriers seal the victory, their seventh in their last eight games.
