Sometimes the difference between winning and losing is as easy as looking at a box score.
Boston College entered Sunday's game against Virginia as one of the Atlantic Coast Conference's most prolific offensive teams. One of five teams averaging 70 points per game in league games, the Eagles topped the overall scoring numbers as the only team over 78 points per game. Three of their prior ACC games averaged 76 points with a remarkable consistency, and the number only dropped because of an outlier performance against NC State.
So when Virginia came to Conte Forum and won, 69-52, one number stood out as the main reason.
