What to Know

The Boston University Terriers have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. The Terriers and the Holy Cross Crusaders will face off in a Patriot battle at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Hart Recreation Center. Boston University should still be riding high after a victory, while Holy Cross will be looking to right the ship.

Boston University had enough points to win and then some against the American Eagles this past Saturday, taking their contest 85-67. Boston University got double-digit scores from five players: guard Javante McCoy (25), guard Daman Tate (14), forward Sukhmail Mathon (13), guard Walter Whyte (11), and guard Jonas Harper (10).

Meanwhile, Holy Cross was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Monday as they fell 60-54 to American. Guard Bo Montgomery wasn't much of a difference maker for the Crusaders; Montgomery played for 37 minutes with 5-for-16 shooting.

The Terriers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 7.5-point margin of victory. The odds have been favorable for them against the spread on the road this season, even if it's been tough sledding overall. They are 7-3-2 ATS in away games but only 12-12-2 all in all.

Holy Cross' loss took them down to 8-17 while Boston University's win pulled them up to 18-9. Javante McCoy will be someone to keep an eye on after he had 25 points along with six rebounds this past Saturday. Let's see if he can build on that strong performance or if Holy Cross' defense can bottle him up.
