What to Know
The Boston University Terriers will be playing at home against the Merrimack Warriors at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. Merrimack should still be feeling good after a win, while the Terriers will be looking to regain their footing.
It looks like Boston University got the smaller half of the wishbone at Thanksgiving dinner. They were just a bucket short of a victory on Wednesday and fell 81-80 to the Florida State Seminoles. The losing side was boosted by Sukhmail Mathon, who dropped a double-double on 16 points and 12 boards.
As for the Warriors, they can’t say they have nothing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving week. They captured a comfortable 75-60 win over the Hartford Hawks on Tuesday.
Boston University and Merrimack now sit at an identical 4-3. Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Boston University has allowed their opponents an average of 8.3 steals per game, the 37th most in college basketball. To make matters even worse for the Terriers, the Warriors enter the matchup with ten steals per game on average, good for 31st best in college basketball. In other words, Boston University will need to work extra hard to take care of the ball.
