It was a nailbiter on the Heights tonight, as Boston College and Virginia Tech had to go to overtime to decide the Eagles’ ACC home opener. Ultimately, the Eagles pulled off a surprise upset and defeated #21 Virginia Tech by a final score of 70-65
The Eagles won the tipoff and scored first to take the 2-0 lead right off the bat, but sloppy offense allowed Virginia Tech to jump ahead as the first half went on, despite some strong BC defense. The Eagles, however, were down by just 5 heading into halftime, with the Hokies leading 30-25.
