Five minutes remained in Boston College's ACC Quarterfinal matchup against Duke, but the game felt like it started slipping away. The sixth-seeded Eagles harbored dreams of dancing in the NCAA Tournament, but their bubble status appeared to pop. Marnelle Garraud's pass fell into the hands of Makayla Boykin, and a fast break layup by Leaonna Odom handed the Blue Devils a seven-point lead. It was a salted play, the kind that buried a stingy opponent daring enough to stick around for the previous 35 minutes.
Too bad Taylor Soule and the rest of the Eagles didn't get the memo.
