How do they play?
Guards Jerome Robinson and Ky Bowman are capable of taking their defenders off the bounce.
The Eagles work the ball around the arc until a lane opens for Bowman or Robinson to look for their own shots or kick the ball out. Boston College shoots 37.2 percent on nearly 20 3-point attempts per game.
Although the Eagles have two dynamic scorers, they struggle in the half court and look to score in transition. Boston College ranks in the top 50 in adjusted tempo, but the Eagles might want to slow the game down against UNC.
Who stands out?
Bowman initially committed to play football at North Carolina. But the guard from Havelock, N.C., decommitted from the Tar Heels to pursue basketball at Boston College.
It looks like Bowman made the right choice. In a Jan. 1 win over Syracuse, Bowman scored 30 points and shot 7-for-8 from the 3-point line. Bowman takes his football background to the basketball court with his fearless play and ability to absorb contact.
While Bowman has dealt with the ups and downs of being a first-year point guard, Robinson — a sophomore — has been a steadying force.
