Durham, NC (Sports Network) - The eighth-ranked Duke Blue Devils are set to host the Boston College Eagles tonight in an ACC tilt at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, North Carolina.

Boston College has lost two of its last three games to fall to 10-6 overall and 1-1 in ACC action. On Saturday, the Eagles lost to Clemson by a 72-56 final, their first loss in what was their third true road game.

As for Duke, it carried an eight-game win streak into Saturday's meeting with Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Unfortunately, that contest resulted in a 71-67 defeat, dropping the Blue Devils to 13-2 overall and 1-1 in conference. There is reason for confidence tonight, as the club is a perfect 9-0 at home.

Duke owns a 9-2 series advantage over Boston College, and the teams split a pair of meetings last season.

Joe Trapani is the leading scorer for Boston College with 15.1 ppg, and he is pulling down 6.9 rpg as well. Reggie Jackson checks in with 13.2 ppg, and he has dished out 68 assists. Corey Raji contributes 12.7 ppg and 7.4 rpg, and Rakim Sanders pitched in 11.9 ppg. The Eagles are generating 72.4 ppg while limiting opponents to 63.7 ppg. Rebounding has been a major strength for Boston College, which is pulling down 8.7 rpg more than the opposition. In the ugly loss to Clemson last time out, Trapani scored 13 points for BC, which received 12 points from Reggie Jackson. The Eagles connected on only 37.1 percent of their field goal attempts, including a 2-of-16 effort from three- point range. A 17-8 deficit in points from the foul line and a 41-34 rebounding deficit also hurt the cause.

Jon Scheyer and Kyle Singler have started every game for Duke this season. Scheyer continues to pace the club with 20.1 ppg and 6.2 apg, while Singler checks in with 15.4 ppg and 7.1 rpg. Nolan Smith brings 17.8 ppg to the mix, and he has started all 13 games that he has played. Clearly, that trio is one of the nation's most productive. While the Blue Devils are generating 84.7 ppg this season, they are limiting opponents to 60.6 ppg on 38.1 percent field goal efficiency. In the narrow loss to Georgia Tech on Saturday, Scheyer scored 25 points and dished out six assists. The most obvious reason that Duke fell short in that clash was that it was outscored 22-9 from the foul line.
