Early 6:00 pm start Tuesday, on ACC Network.
BC is 9-11 overall, tied for ninth place in the ACC at 4-6. Their NET ranking is 159.
It’s a pieced together roster under first-year head coach Earl Grant. They’ve struggled as you’d expect. But they’ve looked much better over the last few weeks, knocking off VT and they got a road win at Clemson. Very good defensively the last couple games. They just handled Pitt easily at home, holding them to 35%. And in the game before, UNC won despite shooting 29%.
