Boston College is Struggling

Boston College is struggling heading into this game and they have lost four games in a row. Two games ago against Notre Dame, they lost 97–94, and in the last game against NC State, they ended up losing 70-62. At halftime, they were down 44-29, and even though they fought back in the second half, they still ended up losing. Donald Hand Jr had a strong game putting up 22 points and six rebounds. There were three different players that ended up putting up at least 10 points. In this game, Boston College can’t get out to a slow start like they did in the last game. 

Boston College sits with a 10-15 record overall and they have gone 10-15 against the spread. The Eagles are averaging 71.7 points while their defense is giving up 77.1 points per game. The offense is ranked 253rd in the league while the defense is ranked 313th in the league. Donald Hand Jr is averaging 16.5 points while shooting 39.4 percent from the field and 39.7 percent from behind the three-point line. Chad Venning is averaging 13.1 points while shooting 54.9 percent from the field. 

Virginia Tech Fell Short

Virginia Tech faced off against Virginia in the last game and they struggled. Virginia Tech scored 70 points but the defense gave up 73 points and that led to the defeat. Virginia Tech shot 46 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from behind the three-point line. Toibu Lawal had a strong game putting up 23 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. Two games ago against Notre Dame, they weren’t exactly dominant but they ended up losing 65-63. 

Virginia Tech currently sits with an 11-14 record overall and they have gone 10-15 against the spread. Virginia Tech is averaging 70 points while their defense is giving up 72.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 253rd in the league while the defense is ranked 313th in the league. Tobi Lawal has been the top player for the Hokies, averaging 13.3 points while shooting 57.9 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from behind the three-point line. Virginia Tech will face Miami, Louisville, and Syracuse following this one.

Virginia Tech vs Boston College Prediction

Away from home Virginia Tech actually has a winning record and they are going to find success here. Virginia Tech is averaging 70 points per game and they are going to get the offense out to a fast start. I really don’t trust the Boston College offense and they aren’t going to even get close to scoring enough here. Boston College’s offense just isn’t balanced enough. Back Virginia Tech against the spread.  

Shane Mickle's Pick: Virgina -1.5
