This is the second time the schools have faced off, with BU stomping the Badgers by 40+ each time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Terriers were led by freshman forward Andrew Bhesania, who made his first start in the scarlet and white in this game. Bhesania notched 23 points and 6 rebounds on 61% shooting from the field. Junior guard Michael McNair and freshman guard Donte Tisinger also had big roles in the game, with McNair dropping 18 points and 6 rebounds and Tisinger dropping 14 points, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Boston University Head Coach Joe Jones commented on Bhesania\u2019s play to reporters after the game, saying, \u201cHe&#8217;s gotten stronger, he&#8217;s a really good shooter, and he&#8217;s a long kid. You know, rebounding is something that we need. He got six rebounds tonight, and that&#8217;s what we need. It helps that he can shoot, but we need defending and rebounding in that position.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;It&#8217;s important to have games like this where you can play your whole team; you know, it builds camaraderie. You saw the way they celebrated Quinn, A.B. [Andrew Bhesania], and Tae [Donte Tisinger], those are guys that haven&#8217;t had an opportunity, and it&#8217;s great to play games. It&#8217;s great to get to play games where everybody who played scored a basket, and it\u2019s really cool to have a game where you win and everybody is able to contribute,\u201d said Coach Joe Jones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Terriers outclassed VTSU on many fronts, specifically with shooting from deep and the battles in the paint. BU shot 63% overall and 51% from deep, while VTSU shot 35% overall and 33% from deep. BU also had a strong advantage in the paint, scoring 42 points in the paint in comparison to VTSU\u2019s measly 18 points.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Badgers were led by freshman guard Jaylen Brown, who notched 14 points and 3 rebounds, along with junior guard Marty Askenazi, who notched 11 points and 3 rebounds. VTSU has now lost eight straight games to start the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>BU is now gearing up to head on a road trip to Durham, New Hampshire, where they look to face off against the University of New Hampshire on Saturday, December 6th.
