Dropping their fourth conference matchup in the last five, the Miami Hurricanes were unable to spark a winning streak of their own in the Atlantic Coast Conference and instead handed the Boston College Eagles their first ACC win on the season.
Guards Rich Kelly and Jay Heath combined for 52 points, forward Steffon Mitchell finished with 12 points and seven rebounds, and Boston College (3-9, 1-5 ACC) converted on 18 3-point field goals to sink Miami (5-6, 1-5 ACC) on Tuesday night at Conte Forum (Chestnut Hill, Mass.), 84-62.
The Canes shot 2-of-16 from 3-point territory, despite making five in their impressive road win against NC State on Saturday, while committing 12 turnovers and allowing the Eagles 21 fast break points.
