Boston College will try to keep its hopes of reaching the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament alive when it tips off a critical two-game trip Wednesday night at Stanford.The Golden Eagles (12-15, 4-12) began the week one game out of the conference’s top 15 that will earn invitations to the prestigious annual event in two weeks.Boston College improved its chances of making the tournament dramatically with a pair of dominant home wins last week — 54-36 over Virginia Tech and 69-54 over Georgia Tech.The Golden Eagles and Cardinal (17-10, 9-7) have never met in ACC play and, in fact, have gone head-to-head just once. That occurred 45 seasons ago at the Industrial National Classic in Rhode Island, a game Boston College won 97-89.Boston College coach Earl Grant knows the key to winning Wednesday will be slowing down Stanford star big man Maxime Raynaud, the conference’s leading scorer (19.9 ppg) and rebounder (11.2 rpg).Grant was impressed with the play of his big guys, Chad Venning and Jayden Hastings, in Saturday’s win over Georgia Tech. They combined for nine rebounds and five blocks in 40 minutes.
