The <b>Wolfpack<\/b> have been strong throughout the season but face their first true road test of <b>ACC<\/b> play. <b>Coach Kevin Keatts<\/b> squad averages <b>85.3 points per game<\/b>, giving them a decisive scoring advantage entering tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Guard <b>Quadir Copeland<\/b> continues to be the driving force, leading the way with both scoring and distributing the basketball with <b>5.8 assists per game<\/b>. His all-around play will be critical against <b>Boston College<\/b>&#8216;s defensive schemes. The <b>Wolfpack<\/b> must also lean on <b>Paul McNeil Jr.<\/b>, who is tied with <b>Copeland<\/b> at <b>14.1 points per game<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2>Eagles Seeking First ACC Victory at Home<\/h2>\n<p><b>Boston College<\/b> has dominated at home this season, winning three of their last four games inside <b>Conte Forum<\/b>. However, the <b>Eagles<\/b> struggled mightily on the road, most recently falling to <b>Georgia Tech 65-53<\/b> in a defensive battle. Head coach <b>Earl Grant<\/b> will look to translate home court success into an <b>ACC<\/b> victory tonight.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>Eagles<\/b> possess one of the strongest three-point defenses in the nation, holding opponents to just <b>27.7 percent<\/b> from beyond the arc\u2014<b>ninth-best<\/b> in the country.
