Boston College Basketball vs. Florida State: Final Thoughts and Predictions

The Boston College Eagles have one of their best chances to pick up an ACC win at home against the Florida State Seminoles.

Did BC Win Last Time Out?

What To Watch For

1. You May Not Be What Your Record Says You Are: 12-7 might not appear to be a spectacularly fantastic record, but a quick analysis of who the 'Noles have played creates a little bit of context for the record. A loss against Hofstra sounds bad, until you realize Hofstra is No. 76 in Kenpom. Iowa is No. 2, and Florida State had to play the Hawkeyes on the road. To be fair, the 'Noles have struggled in conference play (2-5), but to think that this will be an easier matchup would be a huge mistake. Oh, also, they beat Kenpom No. 26 Florida in Gainesville.
2. Turnovers: BC has now played two straight games where turnovers stifled what could have been really solid offensive performances in the first half. There's also the matter of someone eventually being able to convert on points after turnovers in a more pronounced way.
