No. 9 Tar Heels Withstand Bowman’s Big Day, Knock Off Boston College on the Road

Posted Jan 21, 2017
For a majority of UNC’s 90-82 road victory over Boston College on Saturday, it appeared the Eagles had the perfect recipe for an upset. It was a noon start-time, and BC point guard Ky Bowman was nearly unstoppable–pouring in a career-high 33 points. Still, though, UNC was able to come together in the final minutes to clinch its sixth straight ACC win. (Chapelboro.com)
