Eagles Drop 65-64 Heartbreaker to #16/14 Duke

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Boston College used a 16-2 run to set up a frenzied final stretch, but in the end #16/14 Duke held on for a 65-64 win at Conte Forum on Saturday.

Trailing by as many as 14 points with 14:41 to play, Boston College used a 16-2 run - capped by a Jaeden Zackery layup - to tie the game at 54-54 with just under nine minutes left. Boston College's defense shut down the Blue Devils over the final 11 minutes of play, holding them to only 1-of-14 shooting from the floor.
