Zack Peacock added 18 points off the bench and Lewis Clinch 10 in a reserve role as the Yellow Jackets (14-16, 7-9 ACC) won their second in a row and the third in the last four games.

Tyrese Rice and Corey Raji both tallied 17 points for Boston College (13-16, 4-12) in their sixth consecutive setback. Rakim Sanders added 14 points and seven rebounds and Josh Southern 13 points and five boards off the bench.
