Boston University Basketball Team Forced To Wear Masks During Game vs. Holy Cross (VIDEO)

Well, this is different.

Players on the Boston University men’s basketball team and women’s basketball team wore masks for each team’s matchup against Holy Cross on Monday, which is a policy the school put in place amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

It didn’t seem to bother Boston University players, as the Terriers won the game, 83-76.
