The Eagles are allowing opponents to shoot 36.6 percent from 3-point range, which is among the bottom 50 3-point shooting defense in the country.

That defense is tasked with defending a Wake Forest team that has excelled at pushing the ball inside, ranking No. 5 in the country in 2-point shooting percentage prior to their 98-76 thrashing of North Carolina. However, the Deacs are also outside the top 200 in 3-point shooting percentage.

The Eagles are also doing a good job of not allowing second chances, allowing opponents to grab an offensive rebound on 18.2 percent of missed shots in true road games, the third-best mark away from home in the country.

With Boston College one of the 40 slowest teams in the country in terms of possessions per game, it will be a low scoring affair in Winston-Salem on Monday.
