Previewing and Predicting Boston College Men’s Basketball vs. Wake Forest

Now at 10-5, the Boston College Eagles will try to snap their two game losing streak when they host the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.

Keys to the Game

If BC has any NCAA tournament aspirations, they need to win this game and begin a torrid run in the ACC. While moral victories against both Clemson and Virginia are a huge improvement over last year, it will not help the Eagles unless they can actually win these games. My main key for the wake game is to come out strong and make no mistake who the best team on the floor is. Win the game, win it handily, and get ready to play UNC. The second key would be to limit turnovers. In many of BC’s games this year, the main hinderence for them has been their turnovers and has allowed better teams to squeak out wins against them (Texas Tech, UVA, and Clemson). If BC had won at least two of those three games, there is no doubt they would be a top 25 team right now.

Predictions

Matt: 80-67 BC
