Eagles Run Ends in Greensboro Against UNC

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Boston College's postseason run ended on Wednesday night against North Carolina, falling 85-61 in the second round of the 2023 New York Life ACC Tournament.

Makai Ashton-Langford scored 16 points and Jaeden Zackery added 15 for 10th-seeded Boston College (16-17). Ashton-Langford and Zackery reached double figures in both ACC Tournament games this week.

He did not play in the opening round win against Louisville yesterday. He finished with 13 points, five rebounds, and two assists in 29 minutes of play.

In the second half, the deficit continued to grow for the Eagles, trailing by as many as 27 points.

The Eagles would shoot 45.3% (24-53) for the game, connecting on 7-of-21 from the outside and 6-of-8 from the charity stripe. They finish the season with a 16-17 overall record, including a 9-11 mark in ACC regular season play.
