Brown scored a season-high 20 points last Saturday but the Eagles (7-5) still ended up on the wrong end of a 103-77 blowout against SMU. It marked Boston College's third loss in its past four home games. Even though his team is in a rut, Brown is optimistic heading into the meeting with the Knights (4-10). "My mental (approach) going into each and every game is the same no matter how I play," Brown said following the loss to the Mustangs. "So, hopefully, next game, if God wills it, I can come out and do the same thing next time." Brown has good reason to feel confident against FDU. The Knights have yet to win on the road, going 0-9 outside of Hackensack, N.J. Last Saturday they were in Minneapolis, where Minnesota beat them 74-60. Ahmed Barba-Bey finished with 15 points in the setback, while Jo'el Emanuel recorded a double-double (14 points, 11 rebounds).

The Knights open conference play on Jan. 5. "Our nonconference schedule is pretty ridiculous this year, and I think that's all preparation for when we're playing teams in our league," Castleberry said after an 86-72 loss to Villanova on Dec. 11. "We go to La Salle ... and then we come back and play Minnesota and Boston College and start conference play, and that's after playing Creighton and Nebraska. "So, I think we're prepared to see the highest level of competition." Terrence Brown has been leading the way for Fairleigh Dickinson, posting 21.2 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. Donald Hand Jr. averages a team-high 14.2 points for the Eagles. --Field Level Media
