Eagles Battle But Fall at Home to Wake Forest
February 10, 2021 | Men's Basketball
Jay Heath scores a game-high 20 points; CJ Felder adds 17 points and 14 boards
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Jay Heath scored a game-high 20 points and CJ Felder logged his first collegiate double-double with 17 points and 14 boards in a 69-65 loss at home to Wake Forest.
Trailing by 14 points with 10:45 remaining, BC cut the deficit to one point with less than three minutes to play. BC had one possession with a chance to take the lead, and two more in a three-point game but missed seven straight shots before connecting on a 3-pointer with less than two seconds left.
Wake Forest led 61-47 with six minutes left before BC ran off 10 straight points. The Eagles cut it to one, 63-62, when Heath made a 3-pointer with under three minutes to play.
BC shot under 33% for the game. The Eagles missed their first seven shots of the game, and their last four of the first half. In between, the Eagles had a cold spell where they made just one basket over a five-minute span.
But they stayed in the game because Wake was only a tiny bit better, making just one basket in 10 tries over more than six minutes. Rich Kelly made a 3-pointer with 4:46 left to tie it 20-all, but the Demon Deacons scored 10 of the last 12 points in the half to take a 30-22 lead. He added 13 points for the Eagles.
