BOSTON – The Boston University men's basketball team will make the trek to three-time defending Patriot League champion Colgate on Saturday afternoon with action slated to begin at 2 p.m.

The Raiders would have won five straight conference tournament titles if not for the Terriers triumphing in the 2020 final. This year, Colgate has started conference play by winning four games by eight or more points, while the Terriers have competed in four contests decided by eight or less points. Both squads share a common loss to current league leader, Lafayette.
