<p><a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/99827/c-j-harris" class="sbn-auto-link">C.J. Harris</a> and <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/124634/travis-mckie" class="sbn-auto-link">Travis McKie</a> were too much for the young Boston College Eagles, scoring 23 and 21 respectively to lead the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/wake-forest-demon-deacons" class="sbn-auto-link">Wake Forest Demon Deacons</a> past the Boston College Eagles, 85-56, on Saturday afternoon at Lawrence Joel Coliseum in Winston-Salem, N.C.</p>
<p>Both teams kept it close through most of the first half, with the Eagles leading 14-11 at the 12:33 mark and 21-20 with 7:51 left, but the Demon Deacons used an 8-0 run to pull ahead by seven points with five minutes to go. Wake Forest closed out the first half on a 10-8 run to go ahead 38-29 heading into halftime. Wake's 9-2 run to start the second half put BC in a deeper hole, and they didn't look back, capturing the season series sweep over the Eagles.</p>
<p>Ryan Anderson was solid for the Eagles, totaling a team-high 18 points and nine rebounds. <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/145116/lonnie-jackson" class="sbn-auto-link">Lonnie Jackson</a> scored 12, <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/145117/dennis-clifford" class="sbn-auto-link">Dennis Clifford</a> finished with nine points and six rebounds and <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/53404/matt-humphrey" class="sbn-auto-link">Matt Humphrey</a> had eight points. Boston College was limited to 43.1 percent shooting.</p>
<p>Boston College returns home to face Georgia Tech in its home finale on Wednesday.</p>

<p>Ready for some Boston College Eagles basketball? The young and ever-improving Eagles face the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in their third-to-last game of the season at 1:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday, and you can watch the game live online (for free) on ESPN3.com.

<p>The Eagles and Demon Deacons met once earlier this season, with Wake Forest posting a blowout victory. Ever since, both teams have fallen into a rut, with each winning only one of its last eight games. The Eagles still have a chance to reach double digit wins this season, which is impressive considering the way they started the season.</p>

<p>With a chance to reach double-digit wins still remaining, the young Boston College Eagles (8-19, 3-10 ACC) take on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (12-15, 3-10 ACC) at 1 p.m. Saturday in Winston-Salem, NC (TV/Radio: ESPN3/WEEI).</p> <p>As the season winds down, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/boston-college-eagles">Boston College Eagles</a> aren't in position to clinch an NCAA Tournament big as they were one year ago, but the young, fresh-faced Eagles can still finish the year with 11 wins and six conference victories.</p>
<p>The first step would be defeating the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/wake-forest-demon-deacons">Wake Forest Demon Deacons</a>, a team the Eagles lost to at home earlier in the season, as the two teams meet at 1:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday afternoon at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum (TV/Radio: ESPN3/WEEI).</p>
<p>The Eagles lead the all-time series against the Demon Deacons, 9-4. Since joining the ACC, BC is 6-4 in games against Wake Forest. Last year, the Eagles won both meetings, breaking a stream of three-straight Demon Deacons victories.</p>
<p>Earlier this season, Wake Forest escaped with a 71-56 win over Boston College on Jan. 21 at Conte Forum. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/124634/travis-mckie">Travis McKie</a> led all scorers with 20 points while grabbing 10 rebounds and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/99827/c-j-harris">C.J. Harris</a> chipped in with 15 points to lead Wake Forest. Ryan Anderson was the Eagles' high scorer, finishing with 13 points while also racking up 11 rebounds and one block.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/146449/chase-fischer">Chase Fischer</a> scored 13 off the bench in the win for Wake Forest, which made 26-of-59 field goals (44.1 percent). <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/145112/jordan-daniels">Jordan Daniels</a> totaled 12 points and five assists and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/145116/lonnie-jackson">Lonnie Jackson</a> added 10 points for BC, which only shot 31.1 percent.</p>
<p>Since that meeting, the Eagles have dropped seven of eight games, with their only win coming in upset fashion against the then No. 15/17 ranked <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/florida-st-seminoles">Florida St. Seminoles</a>. Meanwhile, the Demon Deacons lost six in a row before finally topping Georgia Tech and have lost seven of their last eight.</p>
<p>Boston College returns home to host Georgia Tech in its home season finale Wednesday.</p>
