Mike Brey has what most coaches want when it comes to a college basketball roster. The Irish have talent and experience, but it didn't translate to the floor on Wednesday night when Notre Dame lost to North Dakota State. One Foot Down, a content partner of this site, gave us their thoughts on the Irish' performance.
Tonight, we jump back into conference play as Boston College hosts Maryland. Both teams are coming off 2 straight losses and hope to get off to a good start in conference play. One interesting thing to watch is when the Terps are on offense. Maryland's offense is the 2nd worst in the ACC in offensive effiiciency while Boston College's defense is the worst in defensive efficiency. Which side will win that battle? On the other end of the court, both are essentially in the middle of the ACC pack. In terms of individual matchups, Dez Wells and Olivier Hanlan should matchup quite a bit. Keep an eye on that one.
Check out our Boston College/Maryland preview below, links to the latest ACC news, and much more below.
