Protecting the ball key for Virginia Tech, Boston College

Related Topics: Boston College, Virginia Tech

Boston College will try to end a four-game losing streak Tuesday when it plays an Atlantic Coast Conference contest against Virginia Tech in Chestnut Hill, Mass. The Eagles (10-15, 2-12 ACC) have lost 10 of their last 11 games, but are a respectable 7-7 at home this season. Turnovers may be the key for each team. Virginia Tech (11-14, 6-8) leads the ACC in turnovers per game (12.9), and BC ranks fourth (12.3). The Eagles turned the ball over 14 times in the first half of Saturday's 70-62 loss to North Carolina State. Five of those turnovers came in the game's first four minutes, when the Wolfpack took a 10-2 lead.
