What to Know

The Boston College Eagles have the luxury of staying home another game and will welcome the Detroit Titans at 1 p.m. ET Nov. 11 at Silvio O. Conte Forum. BC has the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency.

The Eagles came out on top in a nail-biter against the Cornell Big Red on Monday, sneaking past 79-77. BC relied on the efforts of T.J. Bickerstaff, who dropped a double-double on 12 points and ten rebounds along with five steals, and CJ Penha Jr., who had 15 points.

Meanwhile, everything went Detroit's way against the Rochester Yellowjackets on Tuesday as they made off with a 93-65 win.

The wins brought BC up to 1-0 and Detroit to 1-0. A couple last-season stats to keep an eye on: The Eagles enter the game with 7.2 steals per game on average, good for fifth best in college basketball. But the Titans come into the contest boasting the fewest steals given up per game in college basketball at six. Ball control might end up being a major factor in this one.
