CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Only about five minutes were off the second half clock of Saturday's game between Boston College and NC State when Jaeden Zackery executed a play worthy of defining an entire game or season.
He was guarding - one-on-one against Wolfpack guard Jayden Taylor - when the offensive player, was forced into a pressure situation as the shot clock wound under five seconds. They had been hand checking for the better part of 10 seconds to that point, but Taylor, understanding the time crunch, attempted a dribble drive on Zackery by putting a hand on the defender's back.
