Scouting Report: Boston College Eagles
Miami hosts Boston College on Senior Night, beginning at 7 pm ET on ESPNU.
Miami will conclude its 2024 season at the Watsco Center against an Boston College team that has lost six of its last eight and is just 6-12 in ACC play. The Hurricanes had 4 straight victories over the Eagles before this year’s loss in Chestnut Hill. Boston College has not won at the Watsco Center since 2010. Tonight’s a good night to keep that long streak alive.
