On Wednesday afternoon, the first day of 2025, the Boston College men’s basketball team hosted the Miami Hurricanes at Conte Forum at 12pm to ring in the new year. Despite falling into an early 19-point hole, the Eagles picked themselves up and worked their way back to earn a hard-fought 78-68 win over Miami. It was Boston College’s first ACC win of the season, after they fell to Wake Forest and SMU in December.
BC got into an early hole due to their slow-to-react defense, which allowed Miami’s players cut into the paint with ease past smaller defenders.
