Boston College vs. Clemson: Final Thoughts & Predictions

Can the Eagles make it three in a row and take down Clemson?

Boston College (11-16, 6-11 ACC) return home for Senior Day when they face of with the Clemson Tigers in a conference rematch. The two teams played a thriller in January, a game that BC won 70-68 on the road. Recently, the Eagles are playing great basketball, with two straight wins. In that game Makai Ashton Langford led the Eagles with 19 points, while Brevin Galloway was the hero hitting a three pointer to win it.

Quinten Post & Jaeden Zackery have turned into leaders for Earl Grant's squad. Post led BC with 18 points on Wednesday against NC State, while Zackery had 16 points and has become a star for the Eagles. DeMarr Langford is back, and although he came off the bench against NC State, he did play starter minutes.

Series History: BC is 8-19 all-time against Clemson, dating back to 1975-76. In ACC regular season play, BC is 7-13 against Clemson. The two teams did not play last season due to COVID-19 issues. The two teams played in January at Clemson, a game where Boston College won. 

Three Storylines to Watch:

1. Continue Momentum: Boston College has looked rather dominant the past two games against two struggling teams. Luckily for the Eagles, Clemson is also struggling losing six out of their last seven. However, the Tigers had a big win against a good Wake Forest team last time out. This could be a let down game for CU after an emotional win. Boston College needs to just keep doing what they've been doing with Jaeden Zackery and Quinten Post. 

2. Find Your Shots: Part of the reason BC has been so strong the past two games is because the Eagles haven't been forcing as many threes (which they always struggle with). Against Syracuse they tried to shot 28 threes, but that number plummeted to just 15. 

3. Status of PJ Hall: Clemson's leading scorer PJ Hall is a game time decision against Boston College. Averaging 15.5 points per game, losing Hall would be a major blow for the Tigers.

AJ's Fearless Prediction: Clemson has some momentum heading into this game, with a big win over Wake Forest. However, BC is playing their best basketball of the season, and there should be some extra emotion with this being senior day. Think BC will make it three in a row. Boston College 74 Clemson 66
