No. 10 Duke Hosts No. 9 Boston College Friday
Preview and Prediction
There's a huge ACC clash in Durham on Friday night when No. 10 Duke hosts No. 9 Boston College. The Blue Devils are 8-1 on the season and 4-0 in the ACC, while the Eagles are 7-1 and 3-1 in the conference. This will be a battle between two of the top teams in the ACC and should be a great game.
Duke
Duke is led by preseason All-American Zion Williamson, who is averaging 22.6 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game. The Blue Devils also have a talented supporting cast, including RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish, and Tre Jones. Duke is one of the most talented teams in the country and is a legitimate contender to win the national championship.
Boston College
Boston College is led by Ky Bowman, who is averaging 20.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game. The Eagles also have a solid supporting cast, including Jerome Robinson, Steffon Mitchell, and Nic Popovic. Boston College is a well-rounded team and is capable of beating anyone on any given night.
Prediction
This is a tough game to predict, but I think Duke will win a close one. The Blue Devils have more talent and experience, and they are playing at home. Boston College is a good team, but I don't think they have enough to beat Duke in Durham.
