BC Unable to Hold Off Seminoles, 84-76

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Boston College dropped an 84-76 decision at Florida State on Tuesday night. Jaeden Zackery led four Eagles in double figures, with 19 points - including the 1,000th of his career.

Knotted at 43-43 at the half, the Seminoles used a hot shooting hand to pull away midway through the second half. After a traditional three-point play by Quinten Post with 11:07 to play gave BC its final lead of the game at 61-60, FSU went on a 10-0 which put the game away for good.

The Seminoles would build as much as a 12-point lead down the stretch, en route to securing a sweep of the regular season series.

Quinten Post had 15 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and two blocked shots. Mason Madsen added 14 points, four boards, and two assists (4-8 3FG) and Devin McGlockton chipped in with 13 points.

BC connected on nearly 52% of its shots from the floor - including 9-of-22 from the perimeter - but yielded 84 points and 55% shooting to FSU en route to the loss.
