The Boston College Eagles continue a difficult stretch by taking on the Virginia Cavaliers.
How Did BC Do Last Time Out?
RECAP: Turnovers Hamper Boston College Effort, North Carolina Trounces Eagles 89-62
What To Watch For
- How Will The Birds Handle Malcom Brogdon?: Brogdon is Virginia's leading scorer, and he is someone who is a threat no matter where he is on the court (i.e. a strong three point shooter, good inside the arc as well). How the Eagles handle Brogdon will have a direct impact on how the Eagles will fare Wednesday night.
- On the Road Again: The Eagles continue an absolutely brutal road trip at another difficult place to play. The Cavaliers are 10-0 in Charlottesville.
- Turnovers: The Eagles have to to a better job limiting offensive turnovers. It has been a problem for a few games now and it has been costly.

Non-Alcoholic Beverage of the Game
Ok look. I know I've done iced coffee more than a few times. But this will be the fourth game I will have covered in three days. I'm exhausted. Plus, you know, coffee is delicious.
(*note*: I would not trade the experience of covering both Beanpots for the world)
Final Thoughts And Predictions
This is going to be another tough game. It's unfortunate. This road trip is just coming at the absolute worst possible time.

Virginia nearly beat Louisville by 20, a good rebound considering they struggled to beat Syracuse and Wake Forest. They also have both a guard in Malcolm Brogdon and a big in Anthony Gill capable of putting up points. BC will play tough, but they're really going to be limping towards that Clemson game in two weeks. | 22 |
