The Terriers are one win away from winning 3 in a row over Lehigh – all in one season. Checkout the ugly reminders of Game 1 and Game 2 below. In fact, doomsayers will tell you that Lehigh’s lone win at BU came in OT in 2014 (82-80) on a last-second layup by Mackey McKnight. What chance, therefore, do we have? Plenty, I say. And, I’m banking on the theory of “lessons learned” and an inspired defense to pull this one out and send us into the Finals.
LU vs. BU (ugly reminders)
-
Game 1 @ BU
Loss 61-75
Reed:
“I didn’t feel we had the right players making the right attacks against their zone.
“But in a night when we were on our heels, we were on our heels defensively and we were on our heels offensively. It’s a shame because that’s not the way we play.”
We committed 20 turnovers
We hit just 6 of 20 from deep (30%)

Game 2 @ Stable
Loss 59-76
Reed:
“As a team, we really talk about and try to promote an element of toughness,” said Reed. “Today, when things weren’t going right, I didn’t feel like we displayed the toughness we needed to right the ship and bounce back. Teamwork is a major component of everything that we do, and that’s what you need when you have a bad loss and have to turn around quickly.”
BU wins the Second Chance Point Battle by 14 (1 7 to3)
We hit just 8 of 30 from deep (26.7%)
