WEST POINT, NY – Army West Point men's basketball (15-15. 9-8 Patriot League) fell on Senior night to Boston University (14-16, 7-10), 73-67 on Wednesday night. Despite the loss, based on other games around the Patriot League, Army has clinched the #4 seed in the Patriot League tournament and will host a Patriot League tournament quarterfinal game at Christl Arena on Thursday, March 2 at 6pm.
Jalen Rucker drilled a three-pointer to tie the game at 67 a piece with 1:53 left, complete an eight-point second half comeback. However, after Rucker's game-tying three, Army would go scoreless from then on out, as Boston would connect on a three-pointer by Jonas Harper and convert several foul shots to pull away with the victory.
