What to Know
The Boston University Terriers lost both of their matches to the Navy Midshipmen last season on scores of 65-72 and 80-85, so they're hoping to turn the tables this season. Boston University and Navy will face off in a Patriot battle at 2 p.m. ET Friday at Case Gym. The Terriers are out to keep their four-game home win streak alive.
Boston University came up short against the UMass Lowell River Hawks last week, falling 68-60.
Meanwhile, Navy got maybe a little too into the holiday spirit, gifting the VCU Rams an easy 74-52 victory. A silver lining for Navy was the play of forward Tyler Nelson, who had 17 points along with eight rebounds.
Barring any buzzer beaters, Boston University is expected to win a tight contest. There could be an interesting gambling play in this one, as they have done quite well against the spread at home this season while the Midshipmen have struggled against the spread on the road.
The losses put the Terriers at 7-6 and Navy at 7-5. Boston University is 3-2 after losses this season, Navy 2-2.
