American @ Boston University

Current Records: American 6-17; Boston University 17-9

What to Know

Get ready for a Patriot battle as the Boston University Terriers and the American Eagles will face off at 1 p.m. ET Saturday at Case Gym. Boston University should still be feeling good after a victory, while American will be looking to get back in the win column.

The Army West Point Black Knights typically have all the answers at home, but on Wednesday the Terriers proved too difficult a challenge. Boston University escaped with a win by the margin of a single free throw, 75-74.

Speaking of close games: American was close but no cigar on Wednesday as they fell 68-66 to the Bucknell Bison.

Boston University is the favorite in this one, with an expected 12.5-point margin of victory. Their home court has been no bettor's paradise, though, as they've failed to beat the spread in nine of their 12 home games.

Everything went the Terriers' way against the Eagles in the teams' previous meeting last month as they made off with a 79-53 win. Will Boston University repeat their success, or does American have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
