About the Eagles
Last Time Out
BC fell to Florida State on Thursday, 84-71.  Teya Sidberry scored a team-high 19 points on 7-of-16 shooting with nine rebounds, two steals, and a pair of assists. T'yana Todd scored 17 with a personal-high nine off the glass and dished out four helpers with two swipes. Andrea Daley pulled down a season-high 10 rebounds with six points and Kaylah Ivey dished out seven assists with six points.Â
A Win Would
- Snap a nine-game skid.
- Give the Eagles a 12-17 mark and 4-12 record in the league.Â
- Snap a four-game losing streak to ND.
- Give the Eagles their first ranked win of the season.
By the Numbers
1 - Ivey is the only player with over 145 assists and less than 55 turnovers.Â
3- Sidberry is one of three players in the ACC to average at least 13.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.5 steals and have a PER of 25 or better.Â
7 - Sidberry is one of seven BC players since 2015-16 to record a game of at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, and shoot 60 percent or better from the field.Â
10 - Ivey's 149 assists is 10th all-time in a single season. She's on pace to finish seventh.Â
84 - Waggoner's 84 steals puts her at six away from setting the single-season program mark, which would be 90.Â
185 - Waggoner is sixth all-time with 185 steals.Â
What to Watch for
- T'yana Todd has put together a solid stretch over the last four games, averaging 15.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and just under two steals per game. See if she can continue her play on Sunday.
- See if the Eagles can contain the ND offense on Sunday. The Fighting Irish shot 40 percent or less in five of their losses.Â
- Watch if BC can score off Notre Dame's miscues. Opponents are averaging 19.2 points off turnovers in ND's losses.
- See if the Eagles can cut down on the turnovers after averaging 18.5 over the last two games.
- See if the Eagles can keep ND off the line. The Fighting Irish shot 26 free throws in the first meeting.Â
