Miami gives BC another loss

Bookmark and Share

BOSTON (AP) — Dwayne Collins had 13 points with seven rebounds and drew a key charging foul on Tyrese Rice in the final minute Saturday night to lead Miami to a 77-71 victory over No. 17 Boston College.

It was the second straight loss for the Eagles (13-4, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) since they beat top-ranked North Carolina in Chapel Hill to jump into The Associated Press Top 25. BC lost to Harvard on Tuesday and has another top ACC opponent next: No. 4 Wake Forest on Wednesday.

BC pulled within one point, 70-69, thanks to Reggie Jackson's steal and a pair of free throws with 33.9 seconds left. Brian Asbury hit two free throws for Miami, then Collins stood under the basket when Rice drove the lane and took the offensive foul.

Collins went 11-for-14 from the line for Miami (12-3, 1-1), which has won nine of 10.
