STORYLINES
Last time out, Kyle Wilson's three-pointer at the end of regulation sent the game to overtime and Kevin Ferguson's putback with 0.7 seconds left in the second OT gave Army an 80-78 victory over Navy. Ferguson registered his sixth consecutive double-double with 22 points and a career-high 19 rebounds to lead the Black Knights. Tanner Plomb scored a game-high 24 and Kyle Wilson had 11 in the win. Dylan Cox handed out a game-high eight assists. Army trailed by 13 with 8:36 to play and by five with less than 30 seconds remaining.
The win improved Army to 17-11 on the season, including an 8-8 mark in Patriot League play, and gave the Black Knights their most wins since the 1977-78 season.
Boston University enters Tuesday's game with a 10-6 Patriot League mark following a setback to Bucknell on Sunday. That loss snapped a seven-game winning streak for the Terriers.
It was announced that Army's regular season finale against Lehigh on Saturday Feb. 27 will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network. The senior day tilt against the Mountain Hawks will begin at noon.
