They have also gone winless in their three road games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BU is coming off their first victory of the season after defeating Dartmouth over the weekend. The Terriers were led by sophomore guard Kyrone Alexander who put up an impressive 21 points to go along with nine rebounds and a steal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A key differentiator for the Terriers was their defense as they only allowed 50 points. In their previous three matches, BU allowed opponents to score at least 70 points each time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Terriers should be able to build on their solid defensive performance when the Seahawks come to town. Overall, Wagner has struggled to score this season as they have averaged under 55 points per game and don\u2019t have a single player averaging double figures in scoring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BU will look for a good game from graduate student guard Miles Brewster, who has shot just 21% from three point range and 35% from the field.
