On Wednesday, Feb. 15, Boston College will welcome its first opponent to Newton Campus as the team hosts Boston University before heading on the road to Virginia Tech for its second conference game of the season on Saturday, Feb. 18.
Boston College will continue its season, with a five-game slate of non-conference games, including last year's no. 1 ranked team, Maryland, whose only loss came in the national championship game to North Carolina.
The Eagles will return to ACC action on Saturday, March 18 when they host Louisville before heading to Chapel Hill, N.C. to take on last year's national champions UNC.
Boston College will wrap up the regular season playing four of its five games at home, including games against ACC opponents Virginia, Duke and Notre Dame in April.
The Eagles return 20 players from last year's NCAA Tournament roster, and welcome six freshmen.
