Boston College Basketball vs. Delaware Blue Hens: Final Thoughts And Predictions

The Boston College Eagles ended their losing streak emphatically Sunday against the Maine Black Bears. Now the Eagles look to continue the momentum against the Delaware Blue Hens.

Did BC Win Last Time Out?

What To Watch For:

1. Battle for the Boards: Delaware is a team that dominates the boards, so BC won't be able to dominate the rebound count like they did against Maine. BC doesn't have to dominate the margin, but they have to keep it close.
2. Slowing Down the Big 3: Delaware doesn't have one clear leading scorer. They have three players within 1.6 points per game. The point is that, offensively, Delaware has multiple threats.
3. Stay out of Foul Trouble: BC can't have Dennis Clifford and Idy Diallo get into foul trouble early again. Delaware is a much better free-throw shooting team than Maine.
