Freshman Olivier Hanlan led Boston College (11-14, 3-9) with 19 points. Ryan Anderson added 10 points and a game-high 11 rebounds, but missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer at the final buzzer.

The Eagles cut their deficit to two three times, but Snaer, Bookert and Terry Whisnant II went 5-for-6 from the foul line in the final 2:04 to seal the win.
