BC Men’s Basketball NIT Round 1 vs Western Kentucky: Preview and Predictions

After a two win showing at the ACC Tournament, the Boston College men’s basketball team thoroughly earned a trip to postseason play at the NIT Tournament.

Jim Christian’s team has a chance to win 20 games for the first time in his tenure and since that same 2010-11 season. Let’s take a look at the tale of the tape for both sides for this first round matchup.
