As the Boston College Eagles prepare for their upcoming clash against the Clemson Tigers, fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be a thrilling encounter at the Capital One Arena. The Eagles have been soaring high recently, showcasing a robust performance in their last game against the Miami Hurricanes.

The statistics from that game paint a picture of a team on an upward trajectory. The Eagles dominated with an impressive 49 percent field goal shooting, converting 31 out of 63 attempts. Their prowess was not limited to two-pointers where they shot an exceptional 62 percent but extended beyond the arc as well, hitting 36 percent from three-point range.

Rebounding has been another area of strength for Boston College. They outrebounded Miami by seven boards, pulling down 43 rebounds compared to Miami's 36. This included ten offensive rebounds which contributed to their second-chance points tally.

One aspect that could use improvement is ball handling; despite winning comfortably, the Eagles turned over the ball eleven times. However, they made up for it with solid defense and efficient scoring inside the paint matching Miami's points in this area.

The venue could play a significant role in this matchup as well; playing away from home can always introduce new challenges. However, given their recent form and ability to perform under pressure – as evidenced by their free throw accuracy standing at an outstanding 89 percent – there is every reason for optimism among Eagle fans.
