Boston University vs Navy Prediction 

Navy comes into this matchup on a four-game losing streak, but they will be at home for this contest and they are a small favorite to get the win. The Midshipmen are shooting just 42.3% from the field and they have failed to score 70 points in three of their last four. Boston University has lost two of their last three games, with both losses coming on the road. The Terriers are shooting 44.2% from the field, but they are only scoring 65.9 points per game this season. Boston University has really struggled on the road so far this season and I can’t count on them to all of a sudden figure things out here. Take Navy to get the win.
