NCAA Basketball action resumes today when the Boston University welcome the Hawks in what should be an entertaining match at the Agganis Arena. If you plan to watch Boston University vs Saint Joseph’s live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Terriers vs Hawks preview below.
Boston University Terriers vs Saint Joseph’s Hawks
The Terriers go into this one with a 36% winning record, and naturally as favorites over the Saint Joseph’s Hawks. Boston University will be sure to keep an eye on the current Saint Joseph’s streak (Lost 5), and take necessary precautions. The Terriers are averaging 64 ppg this season (good for number 277 in the NCAA), but not as good as the Hawks’s 65.6 ppg average in the 2010-2011 NCAA season.
Playing on the road, the Hawks will need to play to their strengths and their 72.3 freethrow percentage is their strongest statistical attribute (and good for number 65 in the whole NCAA Division 1). The Saint Joseph’s are 3-7 this season overall (0-0 in the Atlantic 10 Conference) and today will hope to improve their 2 – 5 record away from Hagan Arena.
Boston University have been dominating their opponents this season in the 3 pointers made departement. Their 95 3 pointers made is the number 16 best among the 350 colleges in the NCAA D1, and that will be an area that the Saint Joseph’s coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen Boston University’s 2 – 1 home record. After 11 games, the Terriers hopeful will be counting for a victory to improve their standing in the America East Conference.
