WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Fresh off its fourth overtime win of the season, Wake Forest will look to keep things rolling when the Demon Deacons welcome in the Boston College Eagles on Tuesday evening. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Lawrence Joel Coliseum. The game will be televised regionally by Fox Sports Net and is also available on the Wake Forest ISP Sports Radio Network.

The Deacons also played their 10th road game of the season, a number that leads all power six conference schools. Wake Forest is 6-4 on the road this season, including a 2-3 record in league play.

Ishmael Smith led the way at Virginia, finishing with 15 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Al-Farouq Aminu posted his ACC-leading 14 double-double of the year with 13 points and 10 rebounds.

Boston College comes in at 12-11 overall and 3-6 in the ACC after its 66-63 setback to Duke on Saturday in Chestnut Hill. The Eagles will be playing their first road game in 17 days on Tuesday.
