All-Time Series vs. Boston College: Eagles lead 20-8
Last Meeting vs. Monarchs: Dec. 31, 2012 — Boston College 79, Dartmouth 58
Eagles On Tap
• Dartmouth will play its third of four straight road games on Saturday afternoon at the Conte Forum as Boston College welcomes the Green to town.
• This is the first game between the two since the Eagles handed Dartmouth a 79-58 defeat on New Year's Eve in 2012.
• The Big Green are coming off a hard-fought 59-47 loss at Old Dominion on Wednesday. The final score is a bit deceptive as Dartmouth trailed by three with less than three minutes to play.
• The defense had by far its best showing of the season, holding the Monarchs to a paltry 28.8 percent shooting, the lowest by a Big Green opponent in over 10 years.
• Dartmouth also had trouble scoring, however, knocking down just 16-of-45 (.356) shots while posting its fewest points since a 57-46 loss to Harvard on Jan. 10, 2015.
• Sophomore Evan Boudreaux led the Big Green in scoring (16) and rebounding (9) as he has in all five games thus far. He ranks fourth in the league at 17.2 ppg and first with 9.0 rpg.
• The bench was particularly efficient, however, as five reserves combined to score 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting, including 3-of-4 from long distance.
• The 0-5 start is the worst for the Big Green in 10 years. Dartmouth started the 2006-07 campaign with six straight defeats.
Series vs. Boston College
• The Eagles have won 20 of the 28 meetings with Dartmouth, dating back to a 60-13 Big Green victory in 1905.
• In the last 40 years, Dartmouth claims just one win in 10 games, that being an 80-74 victory on Nov. 29, 1988. Perhaps not coincidentally, that was the last time BC came to Hanover.
• The last Big Green victory in the series on the road came on Jan. 3, 1963, by a 58-50 final.
Dartmouth is 0-5 at the Conte Forum since it opened in November of 1988.
• The Big Green are 18-63 against current ACC schools, with seven wins against Syracuse, and one each versus Miami, North Carolina and Pitt.
Scouting the Eagles
• After three straight wins over UMES, Stony Brook and Towson at home, Boston College dropped both contests at the Barclays Center Classic last week to Kansas State (72-54) and RIchmond (67-54).
• As a team, the Eagles have done quite well at defending the three-ball (opponents shooting 36.6 percent) and banging the boards (grabbing five more per game).
• Sophomore guard Jerome Robinson does just about everything for BC with 19.0 ppg (no one else is over 8.3), 5.3 rpg 3.0 apg and 2.0 spg. Last time out he produced a career-high 27 points, half of the team's total.
• Mo Jeffers is the Eagles' top rebounder at 7.0 per game while Connar Tava isn't far behind at 6.3.
• At the point is A.J. Turner, an efficient guard in every sense with a better than 3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio while shooting 48.6 percent overall and 44.4 (8-of-18) from downtown.
• BC does have a propensity for turnovers, however, at over 16 per game while forcing just 11.
• Jim Christian (Rhode Island '88) is in his third season as the Clement and Elizabeth Izzi Family Head Coach with a 23-47 record to date. Now in his 15th season as a Division I head coach, he boasts an overall mark of 265-201 with eight 20-win seasons — six at Kent State and two at Ohio.

Defense Denies Old Dominion
Dartmouth may not have beaten the Monarchs, but its defense did enough to get the job done. The Big Green held ODU to a paltry 28.8 field goal percentage on Nov. 30, the lowest by an opponent since Brown shot 24.5 percent on Feb. 12, 2005 in a 48-40 Dartmouth victory. In the eight games in the last 18 seasons that the Green have held the opposing team to under 30 percent, this was the first time Dartmouth suffered a defeat, 59-47.
Evan Almighty
After earning the Ivy League Rookie of the Year and a spot on the USBWA All-District I Team last year, sophomore Evan Boudreaux is putting together quite the sequel thus far. The 6-7 forward has led the team in both scoring and rebounding in each of the first five contests, most recently with 16 points and nine boards at Old Dominion on Nov. 30. His 17.2 points per game ranks fourth in the Ivy League, while his 9.0 rebounds a night lead the loop.
Reserves Deserve Praise
The offense may have struggled to score against the stout Old Dominion defense, but the players that came off the bench made the most of their opportunities. Cameron Smith, Wesley Dickinson, Mike Fleming and the freshman Ian “twins” — Carter and Sistare — combined to hit 7-of-9 shots, 3-of-4 outside the arc, and both free throws to score 19 points. Dickinson, who shot 81 percent on field goals last year, was a perfect 3-for-3 himself.
