Counting on a big weekend from: Matt Humphrey. The junior transfer from Oregon has been the Eagles' most consistent player and their most athletic. He had 15 points in a home loss to the Wolfpack on Feb. 1.

Number to know: 1. Total career points in ACC tournament play on BC's roster. Sophomore guard Gabe Moton had one point in an opening-round win over Wake Forest last year.

Hotlanta or Notlanta?: Not. Steve Donahue did a masterful coaching job to coax four ACC wins out of this roster, especially the Florida State upset on Feb. 8. But the Eagles went 0-8 on the road in ACC play and 1-12 away from home for the season. That record is unlikely to improve in Atlanta, no matter how good Donahue is.
