Player to watch: Like his team, Boston College junior wing Rakim Sanders hasn't lived up to expectations this season, although an ankle injury played a role in his struggles. Although his scoring average is two points below last season's mark, Sanders scored 17 points last week against Florida State, and he has the ability to be the Eagles' best player.

Observation: Duke needs physical post players Miles and Mason Plumlee, Lance Thomas and Brian Zoubek to dominate on the boards. The Blue Devils' shooters might be weary and off target after playing Thursday night, but the big guys should have an advantage against an opponent that has just one player taller than 6 feet 8.
