Ten Boston College players found the scoresheet as the Eagles cruised past Old Dominion for an 82-52 win on Sunday in their first of three games at the Cayman Islands Classic in George Town, Cayman Islands.
Donald Hand Jr. posted his third double-double of the season with 12 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Eagles (4-1) to their third straight victory.
Fred Payne added 11 points, while the eight other Boston College scorers recorded between six and nine points. Hand, Chas Kelley III, Luka Toews and Joshua Beadle each knocked down a pair of 3-pointers.
Roger McFarlane paced the Eagles with 11 points and five assists along with his six points. Boston College advanced to play Missouri State in the semifinals on Monday evening.
Old Dominion (2-4) was led by Robert Davis Jr., who scored 19 points with three of his six field goals coming from distance.
The Eagles shot 43.3 percent from the field, hit 10 3-pointers and outrebounded the opposition 46-34.
After trailing 4-0 and 9-7 early, Boston College went on a 9-0 run that Payne concluded with a driving layup and a 3-pointer off the bench.
Chad Venning's layup with 8:50 left before halftime increased the Eagle advantage to 11, and it continued to grow during a 7-0 spurt during which Dion Brown scored five straight points, including a lay-in for a 3-point play.
Toews banged down his first career three at the 3:42 mark and Payne capped the period with a last-minute jumper as Boston College went on to lead 43-24 at halftime.
Old Dominion responded to Venning's layup out of halftime with seven points, including a Davis catch-and-shoot triple. An Elijah Strong three with 16:32 left stopped the run, but the Monarchs hung within 15 under near the halfway mark as Davis continued his high-scoring night.
A 16-2 run across just 3:57 helped the Eagles break the game wide open. The stretch included a triple from Hand before he set up Jayden Hastings for an alley-oop dunk, while Brown finished his second three-point play with 10:38 left.
McFarlane's turnaround shot with 6:02 to go made it a 30-point Boston College lead. Beadle and Toews knocked down treys in the final 4:05.
