How It Happened:
Boston College trailed by three with 1:39 left in regulation but was outscored 8-0 down the stretch by Texas Tech en route to a 75-64 loss at Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday.

The Eagles trailed by as many as 12 points in the first half before using an 18-5 run - capped by a Ky Bowman layup - to take a 31-30 lead. BC held the Red Raiders without a field goal for close to 4:00 during that stretch.

Texas Tech extended its lead to eight (55-47) with 8:38 to play and BC used a 16-10 push to get within two points, as Jerome Robinson converted 1-of-2 from the charity stripe to make it 65-63 with 3:26 to play. But that was as close as the Eagles would get the rest of the way, missing their last nine shots from the floor to go along with four turnovers.
