Eagles Fall 100-95 to Providence in Overtime
December 04, 2018 | Men's Basketball
Jordan Chatman leads all scorers with 28 points in the loss
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Senior guard Jordan Chatman poured in a game-high 28 points as five Eagles finished in double-figures but it was not enough as Providence captured a 100-95 win in overtime. The Friars hit a three-pointer with less than five seconds remaining to force overtime.
Chatman was 8-of-12 from the field and 3-of-5 from behind the arc to lead the way for the host Eagles.
Jarius Hamilton contributed seven key points over the final five minutes of the game. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for the Eagles (6-2) as the visiting Friars improved to 7-2.
Providence led for the majority of the first half, pushing the lead to 11 at 33-22 at the seven-minute mark. The Friars made five of their first eight three-pointers to take the early advantage.
BC responded to its largest deficit of the first half with a 15-0 run, including two three-pointers from Chris Herren Jr. and a layup from Jordan Chatman to regain the lead at 37-33. Herren Jr. was a perfect 3-for-3 from downtown in the first half to pace the Eagles with nine points.
Boston College closed the half with a 21-6 run, including six of their last eight from the field, to take a 43-39 at the break. The Eagles held a 20-17 advantage on the glass and shot 86.7 percent from the foul line (13-of-15) in the opening 20 minutes of play.
Eight points in the first two minutes of the second half from Chatman pushed the lead to seven for the Eagles - their largest lead of the night.
Providence responded with a 9-0 run to regain the lead at 55-53.
Both teams traded baskets over the next couple of minutes before back-to-back treys from Chatman and Wynston Tabbs pushed the Eagles back in front again, 67-63.
Later in the half, Hamilton brought the Conte Forum faithful to their feet with a thunderous slam to give BC a 75-74 lead with just over five minutes to play. Hamilton added an old-fashion three-point play with 3:45 to play to extend the BC lead to four, 80-76.
A.J. Reeves of Providence erased a three-point deficit for the Friars and sent the game into overtime with his trey with four seconds remaining. BC held a 87-84 lead before the long-range bucket to force overtime.
In overtime, the Friars outscored BC 13-8 to complete the comeback, 100-95.
