What to Know

Clemson is 8-2 against Boston College since February of 2016, and they’ll have a chance to extend that success on Saturday.

The matchup between Clemson and Va. Tech on Wednesday hardly resembled the 51-50 effort from their previous meeting. The Tigers took a hard 87-72 fall against the Hokies. Clemson just can’t catch a break and has now endured three defeats in a row.

Clemson’s loss shouldn’t obscure the performances of Ian Schieffelin, who scored 15 points along with eight rebounds, and Chauncey Wiggins who scored 12 points.

Meanwhile, the Eagles came up short against the Orange on Wednesday and fell 69-59. The defeat unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Boston College in their matchups with Syracuse: they’ve now lost 11 in a row.

Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the most dominant came from Devin McGlockton, who dropped a double-double on 15 points and 14 rebounds. Those 14 rebounds set a new season-high mark for him.

The Tigers bumped their record down to 11-4 with that defeat, which was their third straight on the road. As for the Eagles, their loss ended a five-game streak of away wins dating back to last season and brought them to 10-5.

Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as the two teams are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Clemson hasn’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 79.7 points per game. However, it’s not like Boston College struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 79 points per game.
