Virginia traveled to Chestnut Hill Wednesday evening, and the Wahoos had a chance to win down the stretch, but ended up losing their third straight ACC contest 70-67.
Boston College made nine out of ten free throws late, and Joe Trapani scored 18 points to give BC their fourteenth win of the season.
The Wahoos did not reach the Conte Forum till about forty-five minutes before the tip as they got stuck in horrendous Boston traffic.
Jontel Evans had a rough night for the Hoos as he hoisted a career-high fourteen shots while making only three of them.
Virginia falls to 10-8 overall, and 1-3 in the ACC, and the NIT is starting to possibly sound like a reach for this very young team.
Four Wahoos scored in double figures, led by Mustapha Farrakhan who scored fourteen. Assane had a game-high five blocks, and a career-high eleven points.
Bennett’s Hoos return home to play Georgia Tech at Noon on Saturday. Go Hoos!
