A New Era for the Eagles
Boston College will welcome the New Hampshire Wildcats to its Chestnut Hill campus for a 2026‑27 non‑conference matchup, a series that has always been staged in Massachusetts.
The Eagles are coming off a 11‑20 overall record and a 4‑14 mark in conference play during the 2025‑26 season, a campaign that ended with the hiring of Luke Murray as head coach. Murray, who previously helped UConn capture two national titles as an assistant, inherits a program eager to rebound after a disappointing year.
Across the border, New Hampshire arrives with its own set of challenges. Under head coach Nathan Davis, who took the reins in April 2023, the Wildcats posted a 9‑21 overall record and a 5‑11 tally in America‑East play last season, following an 8‑24 finish in 2024‑25.
Series History and the Road Ahead
The two schools have met only a handful of times, with the most recent encounter in 2022‑23 resulting in a 74‑71 victory for New Hampshire. All previous meetings have taken place in Chestnut Hill, reinforcing the venue’s role as the neutral ground for the rivalry.
Beyond the New Hampshire fixture, Boston College is slated to participate in the ACC/SEC Challenge, facing Georgia in Athens on December 1, 2026, and will also compete in the 2026 ESPN Events Invitational alongside Cincinnati and UCF.
While the exact date and time for the New Hampshire game have yet to be released, the matchup promises to be a test of resilience for both squads as they look to reshape their narratives under new leadership.
