A Look Ahead at the 1/11 Game Against Boston College

A Look Ahead at the Boston College Game

A reeling NC State is looking to bounce back from a devastating 56-107 against rival UNC Chapel Hill. There is no better team to try and do this against than Boston College; in a stacked ACC, Boston College is the shining beacon of hope for an easy win. Boston College is lead by Raleigh native Jerome Robinson who plays 34.5 minutes per game and averages 20.6 points per game, 4.8 rebounds per game, and 3 assist per game. Although these are impressive numbers for the guard, the remainder of the team doesn't stack up; Ky Bowman averages 12.4 points per game and AJ Turner averages 10.2, no other Eagle averages anywhere close with the next one only scoring 6.6 points per game. This essentially creates a "Big Three" for the Eagles. The Wolfpack demonstrate far more depth than the Eagles boasting 5 players averaging double digits (DSJ, Henderson, Dorn, Abu, Maverick). State looks poised to win for a second year in a row and hopefully not on a last second Maverick Rowan layup this time.
