Opening Tip
• Northern Colorado will have been off for a week when they face Boston in Cancun.Â
• The last time out UNC gave West Virginia a big time scare just falling short 69-61.
• Kai Edwards just missed out on his second double-double of the year with 12 points and nine rebounds against WVU.
• Boston is 3-3 on the season including a big win at South Carolina as a part of the Cancun Challenge.
• Like the Bears, the Terriers are going off a game at West Virginia. BU fell to WVU 69-44.
• Tuesday's game will be the first time UNC has played a game outside of the United States.Â
Last Time Out
Northern Colorado battled its way back against West Virginia after trailing by as much as 17 in the second half. UNC tied the game with six minutes left with a 16-2 run, but WVU responded with a 10-0 run to defeat the Bears 69-61.Â
Scouting the Terriers
Boston guard Walter Whyte is leading the team with 15.8 points per game after missing the 2018-19 season due to injury. The sophomore was a All-Patriot League rookie team member in 2017-18.Â
Whyte and big man Max Mahoney provide the Terriers with an inside-out combo. The Preseason All-Patriot League selection is third on the team in scoring with 9.7 points a game and grabs a team leading 7.0 rebounds per game.Â
BU was picked to finish fifth in the Patriot League this season.Â
History against Boston
This is the first game ever between UNC and Boston on the hardwood.Â
Bears against The Patriot League
Boston is only the second team from the Patriot League that UNC has faced. The other is Bucknell who the Bears are 0-2 against.Â
On This Date
Northern Colorado is 7-5 on November 26 and 1-0 when playing on the date under Jeff Linder. The one game came in 2017 against Southern Miss.
What's Ahead?
UNC will face either Gardner Webb or UT Martin on Wednesday to close out the Cancun Challenge at either 10:30 am or 1 pm MT. Opponent and time will be determined based on the results on Tuesday.Â
