Boston College 62, Virginia Tech 59: Lonnie Jackson scored a season-high 17
points, including the game-winning 3-pointer in the final minute, to lift
the visiting Eagles to an ACC victory over the Hokies.
Olivier
Hanlan added 14 points for Boston College (5-11, 1-2 ACC), which
snapped a four-game losing skid. Ryan Anderson added six points and a game-high 12 rebounds for the Eagles,
who beat the Hokies for the sixth time in seven meetings.
Adam Smith came
off the bench to record 12 points to lead Virginia Tech (8-7, 1-2), which lost
for the fourth time in five outings. C.J. Barksdale and Jarell Eddie finished
in double figures as well with 11 and 10 points, respectively, for the Hokies.
Neither team led by more than five points and Jackson decided it on his fifth 3-pointer
of the game with 27 seconds left, giving the Eagles the lead a little more than a minute after Barksdale's second 3-pointer of the half had put the
Hokies ahead 59-58. Smith's eight-foot jumper with less two seconds left missed
for the Hokies, who had opened the second half by shooting only 3-of-17 from
the floor, and Joe Rahon's free throw closed it out.
The struggling Eagles,
who had lost seven of their previous eight, never trailed by more than three in
the first half when they hit half of their 14 attempts from 3-point range -- led by Jackson's
4-of-5 shooting from beyond the arc. The Hokies countered by going 7-of-11 from
the foul line to offset their 3-of-10 shooting from 3-point territory to take a
34-32 lead into the intermission.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Boston College improved to 16-8 all-time
against Virginia Tech. … Joey van Zegeren had a game-high five blocked shots
for the Hokies. … The Eagles committed 10 turnovers, but had 13 assists, led by
five from Rahon.
