About the Eagles
Last Time Out
BC used a 19-6 overtime showing to dismantle Pitt, 84-71, on Sunday. The Eagles won their eighth straight game inside Conte Forum, and moved to 9-1 in their first 10 home games. Andrea Daley totaled a game-high 22 points on 7-of-14 shooting with eight rebounds and three steals. Dontavia Waggoner registered a season-best 21 points, eight off the glass, three steals, and three assists. The pair led five players who scored in double figures. T'yana Todd scored 10 points with five rebounds. Teya Sidberry registered her first BC double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds (six offensive). BC bounced back after struggling to score in the fourth period, outscoring Pitt 19-6 in overtime and made 6-of-7 field goals. The Eagles scored the first seven points of OT and never looked back. Kaylah Ivey netted six of her 11 points in the extra period, including the dagger with 1:12 left to put the Eagles up by 10.Â
A Win Would
- Give the Eagles an 11-8 mark and 3-3 record in ACC play.Â
- Give the Eagles a ninth straight at home and a 10-1 record in Conte Forum.Â
- Give the Eagles a fifth win the past six meetings against Wake Forest.Â
By the Numbers
1 - Ivey is the only player in the nation with at least 120 assists and less than 35 turnovers.Â
10th - Waggoner is tied for 10th all-time with 158 steals.Â
11 - Daley is one of 11 players in the nation averaging at least 15.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 assist, 1.5 steals and shooting 50 percent or better from the field.Â
55.1 - The Eagles are averaging 55.1 percent of their points in the paint during league play, which is first in the ACC.Â
90 - BC is 10-0 this season when its defensive rating is less than 90.Â
What to Watch for
- Opponents are shooting 55.6 percent from inside the arc against Wake Forest over the last five games. See if BC can convert from the field. The Eagles' 2-pt field goal percentage is 55.1 percent (50.4 percent for the season).
- In the last meeting against Wake Forest, Andrea Daley had her best performance in an ACC game, scoring 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting with nine rebounds. See if she can continue her solid play against WF.
- BC is 24th in the nation averaging 14.9 offensive rebounds per game, while the Eagles are averaging 18 during conference play. See if the Eagles can come up with second-chance opportunities.
- Over the last four games, Dontavia Waggoner is 14.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 3.3 steals. Watch if the guard can continue her play after coming off a season-high 21 points and eight rebounds.
- See if the Eagles' offense can continue their success at home, averaging 110.3 points per 100 possessions. In ACC action, the Demon Deacons are allowing 116 points per 100 possessions on defense.Â
Scouting Wake Forest
- Wake Forest is 4-13 on the season and 0-5 to start ACC play after an 83-62 loss to then-No. 15 Louisville.
- Elise Williams and Raegyn Conley led the team with 11 points. Williams also pulled down a team-high five rebounds.
- Kaia Harrison led the team with six assists.
- Williams is leading the team in scoring at 10.3 points per game.
- Alexandria Scruggs' 5.5 rebounds per game is a team-best, while Williams' 3.9 assists per contest is a team-high.Â
Series History
The Eagles are 8-13 against the Demon Deacons, but have won four of the previous five matchups. BC earned a 73-63 triumph in Winston-Salem last season. BC has won the last two meetings in Conte Forum.Â
