On Saturday afternoon, the Boston College Eagles men’s basketball team faced off against the #9-ranked Duke Blue Devils down in Durham, NC. Duke came into the game as winners of 12 of their last 14 games, an incredible hot streak that has catapulted them into the top-10 nationally. Meanwhile BC struggled in January, but had won two of their last three games and just narrowly dropped a close home game against FSU this week. Duke continued their hot streak on Saturday and won handily over the Eagles, 80-65.
Duke started out the game hot on offense right away, dominating the offensive glass and creating second chance opportunities that allowed them to take a quick 7-point lead a few minutes into the ballgame.
