Boston College Takes Down No. 21 Miami

The Boston College Eagles got an upset win over the Miami Hurricanes last night in Boston. BC rode a game-high 20 points from guard Rakim Sanders to get a 76 to 66 win over one of their ACC rivals. The win moves BC to 12-3 and lowers Miami to 14-2. The loss might remove Miami from the AP Top 25 rankings, and might be enough to get Boston College a few more votes, perhaps even get a ranking of their own.

Boston College came into the game off of a huge 112-73 win over Wake Forest on the 12th of January, so right now they are looking very good. The Eagles will play an away game at Virginia on Saturday and will have an away game against North Carolina on the 31st. There are lots of games yet to be played, but for now the Eagles are in good shape. Although they lost Dudley to the NBA draft after last season, they have found a defensive presence down low in Tyrelle Blair, who blocked five shots in last night’s game.
