The name
The Terriers nickname was adopted in 1922, inspired by the Boston Terrier dog breed, which originated in Boston in the late 19th century and is the official dog of Massachusetts.
Signature moment

In 2005 BU moved its home games from Case Gym to Agganis Arena, a modern facility named after legendary BU athlete Harry Agganis, but returned to the cozier Case Gym in 2015, and it remains the Terriers' home court today.
