Binghamton will be one-and-done. Put it in the books.

Boston University will host the conference tournament this weekend, and they’ve proved this year they deserve to play on Sunday.

Sure, the Terriers are the third seed coming into the tournament, but this is the playoffs. Seeds don’t matter ‘ instead, take a look at the last two times these teams met.

Jan. 11 at Binghamton, in front of the supposedly ‘raucous’ BU Zoo ‘ right. Big man Omari Peterkin had 10 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks as the Terriers wiped the Events Center floor with the hapless Bearcats.

The Bearcats got their rematch a month later, Feb. 8 at Boston. Game plan? Obviously, shut down Peterkin.

Well, Peterkin sprained his ankle on game day. Didn’t even suit up. Problem solved, right?

Nah. Carlos Strong ‘ who? ‘ lit up Binghamton for a career-high 30 points, shooting 8-of-10 from 3-point land. It was the best offensive performance any Terrier had all year ‘ even without Peterkin owning the interior.

Binghamton coach Al Walker has guaranteed that Strong won’t score 30 again, but admitted that the Terriers have some ‘very good perimeter players,’ like Corey Lowe, a leading candidate for Rookie of the Year.

While the Terriers’ youngsters have cashed in with a No. 3 seed, the Bearcats have hung their hats on potential all season long. The roster is filled with potentially prolific scorers, like Steve Proctor, Richie Forbes and Troy Hailey.

To win, ‘we have to get one more guy to step up [in addition to Mike Gordon and Laz Trifunovic],’ Walker said.

Problem is, who’s it going to be? Every game is a mystery. Laz said on Media Day, ‘It’s a good thing. If somebody steps up, we win.’

Can you bank on Proctor, who closed out the season on a high note but has been held to six points total against Boston this year?

Will it be Forbes, who leads the league in confidence but has been called ‘our prime [defensive] culprit’ by Walker?

How about Hailey? ‘We’ve got some great players that are really capable of getting it done,’ he told me on Tuesday. What about you, T-Roy? The program’s all-time leading scorer and only four-year senior should be the man going into the playoffs.

Instead, it’s always a question as to who ‘ if anyone ‘ will get hot.

It’s no secret that this will be a low-scoring defensive struggle. Both Boston and Binghamton are defense-first teams that’ll try and grind it out.

After the first Boston loss, Walker told the media, ‘We have not even come close to figuring out how to win a game where you have to grind it out. That’s hard.’

Since then, the Bearcats have squeaked by Stony Brook and Hartford (twice) on the shoulders of Mike Gordon, ‘silencing’ doubters that say they can’t win a close one.

But Stony Brook and Hartford, the league’s two worst teams, will be playing tonight in the play-in game. There were no last-second heroics against the ‘original’ BU.

Although Dennis Wolff hasn’t won a playoff game since 2003, this is his 13th year in the America East. By contrast, this is just Walker’s fourth AE postseason appearance. Come March, that stuff matters.

All signs point to a low-scoring contest, but Binghamton will be lower scoring. The host Terriers will go on to lose to Albany on Sunday in a forgettable game, and all that late-season jockeying by the Bearcats will go for naught. Oh well.

There’s always next year ‘ right coach?
