Not much has gone well for Boston College in the second half of the season. The Eagles are 2-12 since the calendar flipped to 2026.
They will attempt to end an eight-game losing streak when they face Wake Forest on Wednesday evening in Chestnut Hill, Mass. The game originally was scheduled for Tuesday before it was moved due to inclement weather.Boston College (9-18, 2-12 ACC) is at the bottom of the conference in several offensive categories, including scoring (67.7 points per game), field goal percentage (40.8) and 3-point field goals (30.3%). The Eagles shot 33.3% from the field (23 of 69) during Saturday's 94-70 loss to SMU, getting outscored 54-34 after halftime.'I thought their zone at the start of the second half stymied us,' Boston College head coach Earl Grant said. 'We usually get excited when we see a zone, but we didn't (against SMU). ... We didn't probe it good enough.'Boston College's Donald Hand Jr. (leg) did not play against SMU, missing his third straight contest. Hand has averaged 13.8 points, second on the team behind Fred Payne (15.4).Wake Forest (14-13, 5-9) is coming off an 82-63 setback Saturday at Virginia Tech which snapped a three-game winning streak. Juke Harris led Wake Forest with 16 points in the loss. He has scored in double figures in all 27 games this season and is the No. 3 scorer in the ACC (21.1 points).The Demon Deacons rank last among ACC teams in rebounding (32.8 per game).'I thought we were doing a good job rebounding the ball on the glass,' Wake Forest coach Steve Forbes said. 'Then I think they got four offensive rebounds in the last three possessions of the first half. They kind of smelled blood in the water, and then they got 13 offensive rebounds. They had great balance and six guys in double figures in scoring. I thought they came up with the majority of the 50-50 balls that led to easy baskets.'Eight of Boston College's nine victories this season have come at home. Wake Forest is 2-5 on the road.--Field Level Media
