GAME NOTES: The Boston College Eagles bring a modest two-game win streak into today's ACC road clash with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

The two-game run has come on the heels of a four-game slide for the inconsistent Eagles, who are 14-13 overall and a disappointing 5-8 in league action. They were tremendously impressive on Wednesday, however, knocking off Virginia Tech in an 80-60 final. Boston College has played eight true road games heading into today's affair, and five of those have ended in defeat.

As for Georgia Tech, it has been idle since last Saturday when it suffered a 76-74 loss to Maryland on the road. That setback was the third in the last four games for the Yellow Jackets, and their 6-7 ACC record overshadows an 18-9 overall mark. Georgia Tech is happy to return home where it is 13-1 thus far.

Georgia Tech owns a 7-4 series advantage over Boston College, but the Eagles won the most recent meeting by a 67-66 final last season.

Derrick Favors joins Lawal up front, and the stellar freshman is scoring 11.5 ppg on 59.7 percent field goal efficiency. Favors is tops with 51 blocks and second with 8.5 rpg.

In what figures to be a close game from start to finish, give a narrow edge to Georgia Tech based solely on the homecourt advantage.
