While it was all tied up 43-43 at halftime, Boston College was not quite the Seminoles' equal in the second half on Tuesday. The Eagles fell 84-76 to the Seminoles.

Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored North Carolina State last Tuesday, but the final result did not. They fell to the Orange 87-83. North Carolina State has struggled against the Orange recently, as their matchup on Tuesday was their seventh consecutive lost matchup.

Like Boston College, North Carolina State lost despite seeing results from several players. DJ Horne led the charge by going 6 for 8 from beyond the arc en route to 32 points and 0 assists. That was a full 38.6% of North Carolina State's points, marking the fourth time in a row he's earned more than a third of the team's points. The team also got some help courtesy of Ben Middlebrooks, who dropped a double-double on 12 points and ten rebounds.

Fans should be in for an exciting game on Saturday as the two teams are among the highest scoring teams in the league right now. Boston College hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 76.2 points per game. However, it's not like North Carolina State struggles in that department as they've been averaging 75.8 points per game.
