What to Know

The Lafayette Leopards are 2-10 against the Boston University Terriers since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Wednesday. Lafayette and Boston University will face off in a Patriot battle at 7 p.m. ET at Kirby Sports Center. The Leopards are out to stop a three-game streak of losses at home.

Lafayette strolled past the American Eagles with points to spare on Monday, taking the contest 69-56. Lafayette got double-digit scores from four players: forward Neal Quinn (17), guard Jon Brantley (16), forward Leo O'Boyle (15), and forward Kyle Jenkins (10). Jon Brantley's performance made up for a slower game against the Army West Point Black Knights last week. Brantley's points were the most he has had all year.

Meanwhile, Boston University didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup with the Lehigh Mountain Hawks this past Saturday, but they still walked away with an 80-74 win. The Terriers' forward Sukhmail Mathon did his thing and posted a double-double on 23 points and 13 boards. That makes it four consecutive games in which Mathon has had at least ten rebounds.

The Leopards are expected to lose this next one by 3.5. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 2-5-1 ATS when expected to lose.

Their wins bumped Lafayette to 5-11 and Boston University to 13-8. In their victory, Lafayette relied heavily on Neal Quinn, who dropped a double-double on 17 points and 13 rebounds in addition to seven assists. Boston University will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
