Boston College is coming into this game with a 19-15 record this season and they were 8-12 in their conference as well. They have been playing well in their recent games as they have won 4 of their last 5 games but they are coming off of a loss against Virginia in their last game which ended their run in the ACC Tournament. They are going to be hungry to bounce back from that loss in the ACC Tournament, especially since they lost that game by 6 points in OT. Boston College has been playing much better in their recent games but they have been specifically better on defense in these games. They have allowed 66 points or less in each of their last 5 straight games and that includes their loss against Virginia in their last game. They have been averaging 72.1 points allowed per game this season but that has improved a lot over their last 5 games and it was a big reason why they were able to make a run in the ACC Tournament and knock out teams like Clemson and Miami. They are going up against a Providence team that is 21-13 this season and they were 10-10 in their conference. They have also been playing well in their recent games as they have won 2 of their last 3 with a win against Creighton in that span, but they are coming off of an 11 point loss to Marquette in their last game. Their defense has not been good in their recent games either. They have been averaging 69 points allowed per game this season but that has been much worse in their recent games as they have allowed over 70 points in 3 of their last 4 as well as 10 of their last 12 games, allowing 73+ points in 3 of their last 4 games as well. Their only 2 games in that 12 game span which they did not allow 70 points in were both games against Georgetown who was one of the worst in the Big East this year. Boston College has been gaining some steam in their recent games as they have been playing very well and their defensive efforts will carry them a long way in this game. Boston College will cover the spread in this game.
