WEST POINT, N.Y. – Shooting over 50 percent from the field while committing just eight turnovers, the Boston University men's basketball team claimed an 80-66 victory at Army West Point on Wednesday.

With their fourth straight win, the Terriers improve to 14-10 and remain one game behind Patriot League leader Colgate at 8-3. The Black Knights (11-11, 6-5 PL) shot 47.5 percent from the field but were outscored in both 3-pointers (10-3) and free throws (14-7), as their six-game win streak came to an end.

Senior Max Mahoney posted 13 points alongside seven rebounds and three steals to become the seventh Terrier in program history to eclipse both 1,400 points and 600 rebounds. Junior Javante McCoy tallied a team-high 20 points by shooting a perfect 8-for-8 at the charity stripe, while sophomore Walter Whyte earned 12 points, six rebounds and three assists. Reigning PL Player of the Week Tommy Funk recorded six assists and matched teammate Matt Wilson (10 rebs.) at 24 points to lead Army's efforts.
