Current Records: Virginia Tech 10-7; Boston College 7-9

What to Know

The Boston College Eagles will be returning home after a two-game road trip. BC and the Virginia Tech Hokies will face off in an ACC battle at noon ET Saturday at Silvio O. Conte Forum. The Eagles are out to stop a four-game streak of losses at home.

The matchup between BC and the Louisville Cardinals on Wednesday was not a total blowout, but with BC falling 67-54 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. Guard DeMarr Langford Jr. wasn't much of a difference maker for BC; Langford Jr. finished with only four points on 2-for-12 shooting in his 33 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, Virginia Tech came out on top in a nail-biter against the NC State Wolfpack on Wednesday, sneaking past 62-59. The Hokies' forward Justyn Mutts filled up the stat sheet, picking up 13 points along with nine rebounds.

The Eagles are expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Albany Great Danes Dec. 13 easily too and instead slipped up with a 61-57. In other words, don't count Virginia Tech out just yet.
