Danes take on Top Dogs

The University at Albany takes on their toughest conference game of the season on Thursday night when they travel to Boston, to take on the Terriers. 

Boston University is currently in first place in the America East, with a 7-2 conference record and they have won seven of eight games since losing to UAlbany 62-61 back on Jan 8. 

In that game the Terriers played without junior Corey Lowe, quite possible their most talented player. 

Lowe wasn't injured, but was being disciplined by coach Dennis Wolff for being ejected from the team's previous game. 

Boston University also didn't have Carlos Strong or Tyler Morris during that game, both are out with season-ending injuries. 

The Terriers also have talented sophomore John Holland and freshman Jake O'Brien in the mix.  

The Great Danes will have to play their best game and word is that freshman point guard Anthony Raffa may not play or at least won't be at 100 percent. 

Raffa admitted to coach Will Brown that he shouldn't have played in the team's last game - Wednesday against Hartford and he hasn't done any practicing since that game. 

If there's one thing working for UAlbany it's that Boston University is 0-4 at Agganis Arena, losing to George Washington, Marshall, Holy Cross and Vermont

Agganis is the Terriers' larger arena that opened in 2005, they also play at Case Gym

Boston University is 5-1 at Case Gym this year. 

The Great Danes had to play well to beat the Terriers the first time this season and that was at home without one of Boston University's top players. 

I say Boston U. takes this one - Boston U. 75, UAlbany 68 (My record is 15-6)
