Boston College men’s basketball used a heroic late second half run and a stout performance in overtime to stun the #5-seed Wake Forest Demon Deacons 82-77 in Round 2 of the ACC tournament in Brooklyn, NY.
The victory for the Eagles was a heartbreaker for Wake, who sit squarely on the NCAA tournament bubble and really needed a win to cement their resume.
For the Eagles, the victory represents BC’s first trip to the ACC quarterfinals since the Jerome Robinson/Ky Bowman team of 2018. BC will move on to face #4-seed Miami tomorrow at 2:30 on ESPN, with hopes of once again keeping Earl Grant’s first season alive.
