Eagles Battle to 64-57 win over Miami
February 17, 2019 | Men's Basketball
Jordan Chatman becomes 44th member of BC's 1,000 point club
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- On a night where Boston College retired the jersey of one of the school's all-time greats in Bill Curley, the Eagles used a gritty defensive effort as the Eagles defeated Miami 64-57 Sunday night at Conte Forum.
The Eagles held Miami to 36.7 percent shooting on the night and just 4-of-26 shooting from three-point range.
It marked the first time in ACC history for Boston College the Eagles have held opponents in consecutive games to less than 58 points. BC defeated Pitt 66-57 in its last game prior to tonight's 64-57 win over the Hurricanes.
Boston College moved to 13-11 overall and 4-8 in the ACC while Miami dropped to 11-14 and 3-10 in conference play.
Jordan Chatman led all scorers with 17 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Nik Popovic added 15 points and equaled a career-high with 14 rebounds for the Eagles.
BC controlled the action throughout and led for over 35 minutes of game action and led by as many as 14 in the second half. The Eagles held a 40-31 advantage on the glass for the game, including a 19-10 advantage with second-chance points.
Boston College led 25-21 at halftime behind a strong first-half defensive performance. BC held Miami to 30 percent shooting from the field, including just 3-of-13 from behind the arc.
Jordan Chatman paced BC with nine points on 4-of-5 shooting from the field in the opening 20 minutes. BC shot 50 percent from the field in the first half and held a 19-13 advantage on the glass.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE:
STAT OF THE GAME:
2005: For the first time since 2005, Boston College has held back-to-back conference opponents to less than 58 points in a game. It marked the first time since Feb. 1, 2005 in a 62-50 win over West Virginia and a 60--52 victory over Seton Hall in consecutive conference games in the Big East.
FOR THE ANALYTICS CROWD:
Nik Popovic led the way, posting a 23 for his efficiency mark on the night. He was among five BC players in double figures, along with Steffon Mitchell (15), Jordan Chatman (13), Ky Bowman (11), and Chris Herren Jr. (10). Efficiency rating is calculated using the following formula: (PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK - Missed Shots - TO).
UP NEXT:
Boston College returns to action Wednesday, Feb. 20 at NC State. Tip-off is at 7 p.m. on Regional Sports Networks across the ACC footprint, including NESN locally. The game can also be heard live on the Boston College IMG Sports Network (WEEI 850 AM) with Josh Maurer and Kevin Collins.
