BOSTON - Highlighted by a season-high 14 steals and 43 rebounds, the Boston University men's basketball team concluded the non-conference schedule with a 69-46 victory over Wentworth at Case Gym on Monday night. Holding its first opponent below 50 points this season, the Terriers improve to 4-7, while the Leopards (4-5) see their four-game win streak snapped.

Junior Justin Alston hauled in a career-high nine rebounds, and sophomore Cameron Curry earned a career-high three steals with seven points to help lead the defensive effort.

Fragnoli tied the game (7-7) at 15:26 in the first half with a jumper from the side after Therriault's 3-pointer, but Fanning keyed a 7-0 spurt by hitting one of his two 3-pointers and a layup to give BU the lead for good.

Papale drained three baskets from behind the arc and gave BU its largest lead of the half at 5:13 (34-16). The Leopards scored the final nine points though to pull within 34-25 entering the locker room.
