[Refresh your browser once the game starts for the latest updates]
FINAL: Boston College 82, Maryland Eastern Shore 54.
- Luke Hunger leads the way with 20 points on 5-for-8 shooting from the field, including 2-for-4 from deep and 5-for-5 on FTs. Eagles go 23-for-24 from the stripe, which has got to be either a program record or near it. BC is still undefeated, at 3-0 now, under Luke Murray.
2nd half
- How the Eagles box score looks with 3:45 left to play, as they lead 72-51 over Maryland Eastern Shore.
- Senior Andrija Bukumirovic has checked into the game with 9:47 remaining. It's his first bit of action all season.
- Ernest Shelton drops in an and-one layup and adds the free throw to extend the Eagles' lead to 64-37, which is their largest of the night.
- With 12:59 remaining, BC is 19-for-19 from the stripe and 8-for-20 from downtown, which is still not ideal for coach Murray's standards, but is definite improvement since the Eagles went 3-for-27 from deep against the Minutemen on Friday.
- Colby Duggan knocks down a catch-and-shoot three from the corner to grow the Eagles' lead to 51-33. Three minutes have gone by in the second half.
1st half
- Williams cashes in a pair of free throws as the half concludes with the score at 43-25 in BC's favor. The Eagles have made all 14 free-throw attempts.
- The Hawks have done a good job of containing Money Williams and forcing the ball around the perimeter, which has limited BC's inside-the-paint chances. With that being said, the Eagles have been able to draw plenty of fouls and get to the line.
- Maryland Eastern Shore went on a 9-2 scoring run to make it 24-18, but a Hunger dunk and Colby Duggan 3-pointer has brought the score to 29-18 Eagles with 6:16 left in the half.
- Isaiah Griffin splashed a pull-up 3-pointer to cut the Hawks' deficit to 17-9, but Hunger responded with a driving layup and a three of his own to put the lead in double digits at 22-9 for BC.
- BC's lead has grown to 12-6 at the first timeout of the game with 15:28 left in the first half. Colby Duggan and Luke Hunger have both made 3-pointers.
- Žak Smrekar gets two buckets in a row, a put-back layup and a one-handed floater off the backboard, to extend the Eagles' early lead to 7-2.
