You cannot say Boston College didn’t show up, their fans packed the Conte Forum and for a half of basketball Boston College looked the part. The Blue Devils were confounded time and time again in the first 10 minutes with both a lack of good defense and a lack of ability to finish at the rim. For BC, it was Chad Venning who threw his weight around taking it to Duke big man Khaman Maluach, scoring the first 6 points for Boston College. Venning would finish with a team high 19 points. The Eagles held Duke in check in the first half, with Duke only able to muster a 6 point lead, while allowing the home team to shoot 58% from the field.
