The Boston College Eagles (7-8, 0-2 ACC) men’s basketball team hits the road to face the No. 20 Louisville Cardinals (11-4, 1-2 ACC) on Saturday afternoon. 

The Eagles are still looking for their first ACC win of the season. Since conference play began, Boston College has suffered losses to Georgia Tech on the road 65-53 on Jan. 3 and NC State at home 79-71 on Tuesday night. 

The Cardinals are hoping to get back in the win column and move back to .500 in conference play. Louisville won its ACC opener at Cal 90-70 on Dec. 30 and has since lost two consecutive games to Stanford 80-76 on the road on Jan. 2 and No. 6 Duke 84-73 at home on Tuesday night.

This will be the only time the two teams play against each other this season.
