In this story:


Despite the game itself being a defensive slugfest last night in Boston College's win over Virginia Tech, sophomore guard Donald Hand Jr. led all BC scorers with 16 points on the night as part of the 54-36 win.

His efforts reinforced his 16.5 ppg average and showcased yet again how Hand can be a lone offensive bright spot for the Eagles when he needs to be. However, Hand had one of his slower rebounding efforts thus far on the season with just a pair of defensive boards on the stat sheet from last night.

Next up for the Eagles is Georgia Tech this Saturday from the Conte Forum at 2 p.m.
