Hand leads Boston College to 54-36 win over Virginia Tech
BOSTON — Donald Hand Jr. scored 16 points and Boston College beat Virginia Tech 54-36 on Tuesday night and the Eagles ended their four-game losing streak.

Virginia Tech had a 0-for-13 stretch in the first half which allowed BC to build a 17-8 lead. Tobi Lawal threw down a dunk with 15:21 remaining before halftime to give the Hokies a 6-5 lead and they failed to score until Tyler Johnson's layup with 6:10 before the break. The Hokies went another four minutes without scoring, Johnson made a 3-pointer, and the basket kept Virginia Tech from breaking the all-time program record for fewest points in a half.
