After missing two road games for what Boston University men’s basketball coach Dennis Wolff termed “personal reasons,” sophomore guard Corey Lowe will return to practice today and play against Manhattan College on Saturday.

Neither Lowe nor Wolff disclosed the details of the situation, but both mentioned it was a combination of factors involving family and medical issues.

“I never wanted to leave. I just had to get my things together,” Lowe said. “There were a lot of things that accumulated.”

In a meeting between the two yesterday afternoon, both agreed it would be best for Lowe to return to action Saturday.

“Talking to Corey [yesterday], he was in a much better place,” Wolff said. “I think he’s going to come back refreshed and have a better handle on dealing with some of the things he’s had to deal with.”

Without last year’s leading scorer (14.1 points per game) in the lineup, the Terriers (1-5) lost both games of their recent road trip by a combined 50 points. The Newton native leads the team with 14.8 points per game in four contests.

“I know we had two games that were important, but we still have to do what’s right for our kids,” Wolff said.

Lowe’s return will reunite two of BU’s “big three” (Lowe and sophomore guard Carlos Strong). The third member of the Terriers’ potent guard trio, redshirt sophomore Tyler Morris, will begin shooting today and is projected for a Dec. 19 return against Yale University, according to Wolff.

While all three have yet to appear on the court together through six games, getting Lowe back is a definite boost for a struggling team.

“It should be fun,” Lowe said. “I haven’t been out there with the guys for a while.”
