...really going to determine our season,” Akpan said. “A win over [BU] will put us in the national spotlight and it’ll really get our season going.” The threat is clear. The Terriers recently delivered a 3-0 upset to No. 12 Connecticut last Saturday. And, like Harvard, BU has posted a shooting percentage more than six times better than its opponents.
