Boston College defeated Michigan on the road tonight in the ACC-Big10 challenge. This marks a nice road win for the Eagles who are still without Rakim Sanders.
BC out-played and out-coached Michigan throughout the game, easily dismantling Michigan's 1-3-1 zone in the first half. BC was led by Corey Raji who scored 24 points (17 in the fist half) and grabbed 9 rebounds. Joe Trapani added a double-double (12 boards, 11 points.) BC was up by double digits with under 3 minutes remaining but a series of missed free throws and Michigan three-pointers made the game much closer than it should have been.
BC held Michigan to 32 percent shooting (26.5 from three) in what was a great defensive effort by the team. They held a significant rebounding edge (41-27) and blocked 6 shots.
BC opens up ACC play at home against Miami this Sunday. Tickets are still available.
