CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Neither Boston College nor Miami was able to deliver a knockout shot to one another as the second half of last Saturday's game drew to a close. A series of mini-runs prevented either team from running away from the other, but playing without starting point guard Nijel Pack did nothing to stop the Hurricanes from making a case in those closing minutes. A pair of 3-pointers preceded a foul shot that built a five-point lead, and the Conte Forum scoreboard felt like it was starting to slip away from the Eagles' feisty performance that produced an early first half run.
