The Boston College men’s basketball team will head back to Boston having earned a third place finish in the US Virgin Islands Paradise Jam thanks to a 59-48 victory over Wyoming tonight, which followed a win over George Mason and a loss to Tarleton State.
The teams were fairly evenly matched throughout the night, switching leads multiple times. The Eagles took a slight edge in rebounds (29 to 25), turnovers (11 to 13), and steals (6-4). But what really won this one for the Eagles was their free throw shooting (they went 14 for 15 from the line) and the fact that the Cowboys shot just 39.
