The Knights dropped their most recent contest for their first home loss of the season. Fairleigh Dickinson opened the season 3-1, but have since dropped four of the last five.
THE SERIES: BU and FDU have met one other time in the history of the series. The two squads faced each other during the 1987-88 season in the La Salle Invitational. The Orange and Blue defeated the Knights in a close one, 73-71, on December 29, 1987.

FDU recently faced Patriot League member Lehigh in its last game, falling to the Mountain Hawks, 65-58.
