BC's Upset Bid of No. 3/4 NC State Falls Just Short
Wolfpack remain undefeated with 75-69 win
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Junior guard Makayla Dickens scored 20 points and drained six three-pointers, but No. 3/4 NC State outscored Boston College 28-9 in the fourth quarter to give the third-ranked Wolfpack a 75-69 victory.
NC State remained undefeated on the season and moved to 6-0 and 1-0 in the ACC while BC dropped to 4-2 and 0-2 in the ACC.
BC gave the nation's third-ranked squad everything it could handle as the Eagles led for over 35 minutes. The Wolfpack used a 21-2 run in the fourth quarter to erase as 16-point deficit for the comeback victory.
NC State was called for just 14 fouls on the day while BC had two players foul out as the Eagles were whistled for 29 fouls. NC State was 27-of-34 from the foul line while BC was 6-of-8 from the free throw line.
Dickens was sensational all game long for the Eagles as the junior drained 6-of-10 from behind the arc.
Boston College used an 11-2 run to start things off in the first quarter as the Eagles drained four three-pointers in the opening 10 minutes to lead 20-14 after one.
BC limited NC State to 30 percent shooting in the first 20 minutes, including just 3-of-12 from behind the three-point line as the Eagles led 32-27 at halftime.
The Eagles led 60-47 after three quarters as BC shot 57.9 percent from the floor in the third quarter.
In the fourth, NC State used BC's foul trouble to its advantage as the Wolfpack turned up the defensive pressure and limited the Eagles to just nine points over the final 10 minutes.
Junior Cam Swartz added 15 points for the Eagles, including two from long distance, while junior Marnelle Garraud chipped in with 15 as well. BC nailed a season-high 11 three-pointers on the day.
Redshirt freshman Akunna Konkwo finished with four points and a career-high eight rebounds.
BC returns to action next Sunday at Conte Forum against Syracuse on ACC Network.
