In search of their 10th conference win of the season, the Duke Blue Devils are about to host the Boston College Eagles, who are in just about as opposite a position as possible.
So far this season, the Eagles have gone 9-12 overall and just 2-6 against ACC opponents. Simply put, Boston College is struggling, and a trip to Cameron Indoor in Durham isn't going to make things any easier.
