Tonight is a “must win” for the Wolfpack if they are to make the NCAA Tournament.

At 12-10 (3-6 in ACC play), the Eagles might look like an underdog vs. State, but Boston College is a much better team than their record shows on paper. Specifically guard Tyrese Rice, the ACC’s #2 leading scorer, who’s coming off a 28 point performance against Duke.

The good news is that B.C. is one of the worst rebounding clubs in the ACC. Additionally, while they lead the ACC in blocked shots, they are also giving up close to 80 points per game on defense. The Eagles shoot pretty good from the 3-point line. Specifically Rice (.339) who throws up a lot of threes, but can be very streaky.

State has to find a way to end their losing ways against the Eagles. They’ve lost two in a row and 4 of their last 5 versus Boston College. Something they’ve got to find a way to change tonight.
