At first glance, the Boston University Terriers’ men’s basketball team is not one that likely instills fear in Syracuse Orange fans.
BU is currently 4-5, including a four-game losing streak, and 0-4 on the road. The Orange may be having some problems on offense, but don’t worry, the Terriers give up 74 points a game. And rather than playing in the ACC, BU is a member of the “ferocious” Patriot League, a conference that currently has just two teams – Bucknell (7-3) and Army (5-4) – above .500.
On paper, the Terriers look like an opponent Syracuse should dominate from start-to-finish en route to an easy cakewalk win.
