Bad Breaks and Bad News at B.U.

Coleman even drained his fifth three-pointer of the season late in the second half, pulling the Crimson even at 56-56 with 1:48 to play. He's now 5-of-7 from beyond the arc this year.

"I always could shoot the three," Coleman said. "I just worked on my shooting more, kept practicing and playing more. It's a part of my game, and it's my goal to be an all-around player."

Prasse Your Luck

Freshman point guard Elliott Prasse-Freeman made his second straight start and did nice work again, finishing with 16 points, four rebounds and four assists, and made 10-of-12 from the line.

In Saturday's 85-83 loss to Navy, Prasse-Freeman scored 15 points and dished 10 assists.

But Prasse-Freeman picked a bad time to miss his second free throw of the evening--with 14 seconds left in the game and the Crimson trailing 58-56. Prasse-Freeman bounced his first attempt off the back of the rim before hitting the second to make it 58-57.

"I'm not happy at all because I missed a free throw to win the game," Prasse-Freeman said. "That's how a point guard measures himself: not on his stat line but on the bottom line, the win-loss, even though those stats might look good on paper."

Prasse-Freeman bobbled an inbounds pass late and had it picked off by the Terriers' Matt Turner, who fed Avebe for an easy deuce with 2:13 remaining to make the B.U. lead 56-53. And with just 1.4 seconds on the clock, Prasse-Freeman's inbounds pass was knocked out of bounds by Avebe, which whittled the clock down to 0.8 seconds.
