By Sam Robb O’Hagan You have to give it to BU. The Terriers have made plenty of mistakes, but they keep getting right back up. It is becoming the story of this bewildering season. And head coach Joe Jones was not shy about this most recent chapter. The Terriers entered Bender Arena on Wednesday night […]
Featured image by Jacob Ireland By Sam Robb O’Hagan They always knew Kyrone Alexander had it in him. BU raved about its freshman guard before the season. Good playmaker. Good size. Fast learner for a player his age. The vision was realized after a team-leading 15 points in Alexander’s first career game; he was confident […]

No matter how good BU is — […]
Featured image by Stevie Potter By Sam Robb O’Hagan WORCESTER, Mass. — BU had it. The Terriers led, 37-33, at the break, sure, but it was more than that.

The 62-48 win on the road against Patriot League-leading Lafayette (8-13, 7-1 PL) on Saturday is one thing. The way BU did it — 28 points in the paint, a career-high 26 points from big man […]
Featured image by Jessica Lam By Sam Robb O’Hagan When they look back at it, it will be the one that got away. All along a five-game winning streak, BU kept finding a way to claw out of nail-biting finishes. A drawn-charge and a steal in the final minute of an 80-77 win over Harvard. […]
