Wolfpack to test slumping Boston College

When/where: 8 p.m., Conte Forum, Chestnut Hill, Mass.

TV/Radio: WRAL/WRAL-101.5

Player to watch: Lorenzo Brown, N.C. State, Soph., G.

The Wolfpack's 6-foot-4 point guard should have a favorable matchup with either freshman Jordan Daniels (5-9) or sophomore Gabe Moton (6-1) guarding him. Brown's production has dipped the past two games, and he needs to take advantage of the opportunity.

Observation: The Eagles have lost four straight since a surprising 2-1 ACC start, including a 22-point defeat at home Sunday to Miami. They are last in the league in scoring, averaging 60.3 points per game. The 62 points they scored in a 76-62 loss in Raleigh on Jan. 19 is the most they have scored in an ACC game this season.
