BC drops 86-74 decision to Colorado State in opening game of National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame Classic
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Boston College suffered its first loss of the season, dropping an 86-74 decision to Colorado State in the opening game of the 2023 National Collegiate Basketball Hall o Fame Classic.
Quinten Post led all scorers with 22 points, as four Eagles reached double figures in the loss. Â Claudell Harris Jr. had 13 points, while Jaeden Zackery added 11 and Prince Aligbe 10.
A back and forth affair through the first three and a half minutes, a layup from Post made it 10-10 with 16:23 to go in the first half. Â CSU would open up a 10-point lead, using a 12-2 run over the next 3:00 to make it 22-12. Â The Rams would lead by as many as 14 in the opening frame and held a 37-28 lead at the break.
Trailing 60-50 with 13:43 to play, the Eagles used a 6-0 push to chip away at the Colorado State lead. Â An alley oop from Zackery to Devin McGlockton got BC within four - 60-56 - with 11:38 left. Â Two free throws from Zackery with 9:11 to go made it 65-61 but the Eagles would get no closer.Â
BC connected on 47.1% (24-51) from the floor and a perfect 20-for-20 from the charity stripe. Â The Eagles made 6-of-16 from beyond the arc.
The Eagles return to action tomorrow - Thanksgiving Thursday (Nov. 23) - taking on either Creighton or Loyola Chicago at 1:30 p.m. ET (12:30 p.m. local) on CBS Sports Network.
