Boston College took an ugly 88-67 loss to Nebraska in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge Thursday night.
Boston College controlled the tip-off, but it was Nebraska with the early fireworks as forward Emmanuel Bandoumel finished off an alley-oop for the game’s first points. The momentum seemed to stick with Nebraska early, as Juwan Gary in particular made his presence felt with a big block on Ashton-Langford before finishing an and-1 bucket at the other end. The offenses on both sides were slow to start the game, as Nebraska took the early 5-3 lead with 15:31.
Like we’ve seen all season long from these Eagles, the half court offense struggled against Nebraska’s set defense.
