TERRIER TIDBITS

Currently riding a season-tying three-game win streak, BU is tied-for-sixth in the Patriot League standings at 7-10 alongside Lafayette and Navy ... The Terriers need a win over the Midshipmen along with a Lafayette loss to Colgate (12-5) or American (8-9) win at Holy Cross (6-11) to clinch the No. 6 seed and first-round bye for next week's PL tournament ... If BU loses to Navy, it will host either Holy Cross (6-11) or Loyola Mayland (6-11) on Tuesday night.
Coming off a game-high 28-point and team-high six-rebound performance in Wednesday's 84-82 win at Lafayette, junior Max Mahoney leads BU in both categories at 16.7 ppg and 6.5 rpg while ranking 14th-nationally at 62.4 FG%.
Mahoney is just 12 points away from becoming the 37th Terrier to reach the 1,000-point milestone, while junior Tyler Scanlon (13.7 ppg, 5.1 rpg) is 20 points away.
After hitting what proved to be the game-winning free throws at Lafayette, sophomore Javante McCoy is third on the team at 11.2 ppg ... Redshirt-freshman Alex Vilaino is averaging 8.5 ppg in conference play to help the offense.
Reigning PL Rookie of the Week Jonas Harper and sophomore Andrew Petcash are combining for 12.1 ppg and 47.5 3FG% in league play.
