20 NC State at Boston College Game Preview
Today at 3pm on ESPN2, the 11-2 and 23 ranked NC State Wolfpack visit Chestnut Hill to take on the 8-5 and unranked Boston College Eagles. TheWolfpack come into this game fresh off of an 89-68 win at home against UNC-Greensboro on Monday. They shot 53 percent from the floor and 44 percent from behind the arc in the win. Their 2 losses came in the championship of the Puerto Rico tipoff against Oklahoma State and a road loss to 2 Michigan. They are led by C.J. Leslie, who is averaging 15.8 points per game and 7.5 rebounds a game. Boston College is coming off of a 79-58 win against Dartmouth on Monday. The last time these teams met was on February 1 as NC State came into the Conte Forum and left with a 56-51 win. When they met in Raleigh, State also won by a score of 76-62. BC is led by their leading scorer, Ryan Anderson, who is averaging 15.9 points per game, and 9.5 rebounds per contest. This should be a highly entertaining game, and I thinkl NC State will keep rolling with their 8th straight win.
