How It Happened:
Boston College shot 56% from the floor in the second half to pull away for an 82-61 win in the third-place game of the Hall of Fame Tipoff Tournament on Sunday at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
It was a back-and-forth affair in the first half, as neither team gained more than a four-point advantage through the first 15 minutes of play. Trailing 22-20, the Eagles scored the final 10 points of the half, holding La Salle to just 1-of-14 shooting from the floor. Ky Bowman's 35-footer at the buzzer gave BC a 30-22 lead at the break.
