What to Know

The Boston College Eagles are 1-9 against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Wednesday. BC and Notre Dame are set to clash at 7 p.m. ET at Greensboro Coliseum in the second round of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tourney. The Eagles are limping into the game on a five-game losing streak.

BC received a tough blow this past Saturday as they fell 80-62 to the Florida State Seminoles. Guard Derryck Thornton had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 31 minutes with 3-for-12 shooting and five turnovers.

Meanwhile, Notre Dame was able to grind out a solid victory over the Virginia Tech Hokies this past Saturday, winning 64-56. Notre Dame guard T.J. Gibbs looked sharp as he shot 5-for-8 from downtown and finished with 22 points.

A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: BC enters the contest with 14.7 takeaways on average, good for 30th best in college basketball. But the Fighting Irish come into the matchup boasting the third fewest turnovers per game in college basketball at 9.9. We'll see which of these strengths -- offense or defense -- will win out.
