What to Know

After a two-game homestand, the Boston College Eagles will be on the road. BC and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will face off in an ACC battle at noon ET Saturday at McCamish Pavilion. The Eagles have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with Georgia Tech and are hoping to record their first victory since March 6 of 2018.

BC received a tough blow on Wednesday as they fell 81-70 to the Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes. BC got double-digit scores from four players: guard Makai Ashton-Langford (21), forward James Karnik (13), guard Brevin Galloway (11), and forward Quinten Post (10).

Meanwhile, Georgia Tech was close but no cigar on Wednesday as they fell 68-65 to the Clemson Tigers. One thing holding the Yellow Jackets back was the mediocre play of guard Jordan Usher, who did not have his best game: he finished with only nine points on 3-for-10 shooting and turned the ball over four times in his 32 minutes on the court.

The Eagles are expected to lose this next one by 3. Now might not be the best time to take BC against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.

With the two teams each stumbling in off of a defeat, both will be hungry for the win. If Georgia Tech want to win, they will need to focus on stopping BC's Makai Ashton-Langford, who had 21 points, and James Karnik, who had 13 points along with seven boards. We'll see whether or not they are up to the challenge.
