BC vs. SMU
-This will be the third meeting between BC and SMU. BC leads the series, 2-0.
-The two teams first played on Dec. 28, 2002, at the Double Tree Classis in New Orleans. The second meeting took place in the 2009-10 season at the Hoops for Hopes Tournament in Dallas, Texas. BC won the game 69-68, behind 25 points from Mickel Picco and 20 points and 13 rebounds from Carolyn Swords.

BC vs. Colorado/St. Francis
-If BC plays Colorado in the second game of the tournament it will be the first meeting between the two teams.
-BC and St. Francis has a bit of history. The two teams played on Nov. 14, 2008 at Conte Forum. BC defeated St. Francis, 99-68, behind 18 points from Carolyn Swords and 14 points and nine boards from Stefanie Murphy. BC scored 52 second half points and shot 56 percent from the floor in the game.

Quick Hits
-The Eagles start one senior (Kelly Hughes), two sophomore (Mariella Fasoula, Ella Awobajo) and two freshmen (Georgia Pineau, Emma Guy). It is the youngest starting lineup since the 2011-12 season when BC started a junior and four sophomores.
-Junior Martina Mosetti passed the 200 career assist mark last week against Seton Hall. Mosetti leads the team in assists with 16.
-Sophomore Mariella Fasoula needs just 36 points to reach the 500 point mark. She leads the team in scoring (15.5 points per game) and rebounding (6.8 rebounds per game).
-A welcome sign to the lineup was the 13 minutes senior Emilee Daley played against St. Mary's on Sunday. Daley was battling a nagging injury and missed the first two games. She finished with nine points in 13 minutes, all her points coming on three three-pointers.

Queen of Three's
- Kelly Hughes became the program's all-time leader in three-pointers as she hit her 254th in the win over Boston University. Hughes needed seven three's coming into the 2016-17 season. She hit three vs. Hartford and four vs. BU.
- Hughes broke the record held for just eight months by former teammate Nicole Boudreau. Boudreau broke the record when she hit her final shot of her career in the ACC Tournament against NC State in March.
- The senior from Point Pleasant, New Jersey, has pushed the new mark to 261.
