Boston College men’s basketball took on the Virginia Commonwealth Rams on Friday night, losing in blowout fashion, 80-55, as part of the Veterans Classic at the Naval Academy. VCU was the preseason favorite to win the Atlantic 10 and they showed why against BC.
The Eagles struggled on the offensive end to begin the game, settling for tough shots and turning the ball over a few times. After an early TV timeout, VCU went on a 7-0 run in about a minute, and Earl Grant called a timeout before it could get any worse. With just over 13 minutes left in the half, VCU led 13-6 and BC still didn’t have a rhythm on offense.
