Colgate Upends Men's Basketball, 64-51
Despite coming out ahead in the rebound battle and forcing Colgate into its most turnovers in two months, the Boston University men's basketball team came up short, 64-51, on Monday night at Case Gym.
The two-time defending Patriot League champion Raiders (15-7, 9-0 PL) entered the contest ranked 18th nationally in turnovers per game (10.6) and overcame 13 miscues by shooting 50.0 percent from the field while holding the Terriers (10-12, 3-6 PL) to 27.7 FG%.
Graduate student Walter Whyte led BU with 11 points to move up to No. 9 in the program record book at 1,533 points. Classmate Fletcher Tynen was the other Terrier in double figures at 10 points with six rebounds. Graduate student Jonas Harper netted two 3-pointers en route to eight points to grab the No. 6 slot at 201 career treys, while freshman Otto Landrum hauled in a personal-best seven boards.
Preseason PL Player of the Year Tucker Richardson helped Colgate set a conference record with its 24th straight win against PL competition by recording 15 points, 11 rebounds and six assists. Braeden Smith shot a near-perfect 8-of-9 from the field on his way to a game-high 21 points alongside four assists, while Oliver Lynch-Daniels added 12 points.
