Wake Forest at Boston College

Wednesday, 9:00 pm

The "We Beat North Carolina Cry" doesn't ring as far and wide for Boston College as it did a week ago. Not after Wake Forest beat the Tar Heels on Sunday and the Eagles couldn't escape cross-town foe Harvard at home.

A young Wake club, led by head coach Dino Gaudio, has been terrific shooting the ball, making more than 51 percent of its shots from the field. The Deacons also play pretty stingy defense, having allowed just 36 percent shooting from their opponents thus far.

Just like their football team, BC plays smart on offense, giving the ball up just 13 times per game on turnovers. Wake has forced 18 turnovers per game thus far, but the Deacons have played the 141st-ranked schedule.

However, the Deacons have not beaten Boston College in their last seven tries. I think Wake may fall victim to celebrating the UNC win a little too long and, as a result, an upset on the road.

Boston College wins in an upset.

Season: 0-0 SU
