Boston College 80, Virginia 70
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Tyrese Rice and Rakim Sanders scored 20 points each as Boston College beat Virginia 80-70 on Wednesday night.
The Eagles (18-6, 6-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) took command early, using a 19-3 run to build a 29-12 lead with 5:31 left in the first half. It was 42-22 by halftime, and Virginia had managed only six field goals in 28 attempts.
Virginia (7-11, 1-6) lost its sixth straight despite a career-high 32 points by freshman Sylven Landesberg. Jeff Jones added 10 points, but on 2-for-11 shooting as the Cavaliers guards, besides Landesberg, were 6-for-34 from the field. Virginia shot just 33.3 percent overall (23-for-69).
Sanders also grabbed 10 rebounds for Boston College, while Joe Trapani and Biko Paris scored 12 points each. Rice also had six assists for the Eagles, who won their fifth straight.
Boston College shot 51.1 percent (24-for-47), and would have put the game away if not for 20 turnovers that led to 23 points for the Cavaliers.
Virginia coach Dave Leitao played the same five for almost the entire second half, making his first switch with just 1:09 to play, and the group brought the Cavaliers to within seven points twice in the closing minutes.
