Pio's Provide Tough Test

Tonight, BU welcomes 5th ranked Denver to Agganis. DU is undoubtably the best team BU has faced to date and they will provide a huge test for a struggling Terrier team. A win tonight could really spring-board the team. In addition, this is a an important game for both schools when it comes to PairWise. It's a bit early to start looking at that stuff, but DU will be in it all year. Two points against them would be nice.

So far on the year, Denver is 3-2-0, but last night was the first time they played a ranked opponent. On opening weekend, the Pioneers split with Air Force in a home and home  and the following weekend swept Michigan State at home.
