Johnson & Wales struggled to find an answer for the Terriers’ scoring bursts. While the Wildcats managed to keep the game relatively competitive in the opening period, the gap widened as the game progressed.

Wildcats struggle to find consistency

While the Wildcats kept the score close early on, they were unable to match the efficiency displayed by Boston University.

The Wildcats’ offensive efforts were unevenly distributed. While they managed to stay within striking distance during much of the first half, the cumulative impact of Boston University’s shooting meant the deficit became insurmountable. The Wildcats finished the game with 74 points, trailing by 26.

Defensively, the Wildcats were tasked with containing a multi-pronged attack. The Terriers’ ability to rotate scoring between guards like Hines and Grullon, and shooters like Roberts, prevented Johnson & Wales from settling into a single defensive scheme.

The game highlighted the gap in shooting efficiency between the two programs. While the Terriers leaned heavily on their 57.9% three-point shooting, the Wildcats were unable to replicate that level of precision to mount a comeback.
