On Tuesday, Temple was able to grind out a solid win over Drexel, taking the game 69-61.

Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored Boston College last Friday, but the final result did not. They suffered a grim 80-55 loss to VCU. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest defeat the Eagles have suffered since March 2nd.

Despite the loss, Boston College had strong showings from Roger McFarlane, who dropped a double-double on 11 points and 11 rebounds, and Donald Hand Jr., who earned 17 points in addition to eight rebounds. The dominant performance also gave Hand Jr. a new career-high in offensive rebounds (three).

Temple's victory bumped their record up to 3-0. As for Boston College, their defeat dropped their record down to 1-1.

Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Temple has been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 36.3 rebounds per game.
