WATCH | Live Stats | Game Notes

Boston, MA - The Wagner College men's basketball team will play its third consecutive road game when the Seahawks travel to Boston University on Tuesday, November 19 at 7:00 pm.

The Gauntlet

Wagner sits at 1-3 on the season, but has had the 11th hardest schedule in the country according to KenPom. 

The Seahawks have faced consecutive Big East opponents after opening the season at Big Ten member Rutgers.

The Wagner DNA

Despite the tough schedule, Wagner is 41st nationally in scoring defense at 61.8 points per game, which also leads the Northeast Conference (NEC). 

The Emergence Of Zavier Fitch

Freshman Zavier Fitch scored his first career points against Manor and has seen action in all four games so far this season. Fitch is Wagner's team leader with four blocks and is tied for second on the team with four steals while also having the highest field goal percentage on the team, connecting on 6-7 attempts so far this season. 

The Floor General

Senior Javier Ezquerra led Wagner with 10 points against St. John's after recording the first double-double of his career against Manor. 

Ezquerra leads Wagner in points scored (32), assists (16), and minutes (126) through four games.

Scouting The Terriers

Boston University enters Tuesday's game with a 1-3 record. The Terriers most recently picked up their first win of the season, a 78-50 victory over Dartmouth. 

The Bench Makes A Difference

A year after being limited to just seven scholarship players for a majority of last season, the Seahawks have received solid production from their bench during the first four games of the new year. Wagner is averaging 24.5 bench points per game, which is 44.7% of their total offensive production per game. 
The Series

Tuesday's game marks the eighth all-time meeting between the Seahawks and Terriers, with Wagner leading the all-time series 4-3. 

A season ago, the Terriers earned a 73-59 victory at the Spiro Sports Center in the first meeting between the two teams since the 1981-82 season.

Splash Zone

Through four games, Wagner is connecting on seven three-pointers a game. The Seahawks hit on 15-29 shots from downtown against Manor, with senior Tyje Kelton connecting on five threes. 

Next Up

Wagner will return home to host Springfield on Saturday, November 23, at 4:00 pm.
