Boston College vs Boise State
(NCAAB) Broncos (BSU) vs. Eagles (BC),
Point Spread: 10.50 | -110.00 Eagles (BC) (Home)
Result: Win
The Rodney Dangerfield factor? Not a lot of respect being given to Earl Grant's BC, which appears to be assembling its pieces in orderly fashion during a 5-1 break from the gate. The Eagles are balancing the floor, with interior presence provided by 6-10 St Bona transfer Chad Venning, who is making his presence felt on both ends of the court, along with much-improved 6-8 PF Elijah Strong. Meanwhile, emerging soph combo G Donald Hand, Jr (16.8 ppg/9.3 rpg) is giving indicators that he could make his presence felt in the rugged ACC. This looks a maxed-out price far from home (the Cayman Islands!) for Boise, which was pushed to the wall in Monday's first round when surviving an 83-82 scare vs. South Dakota State.
