Boston College 68, Clemson 61:
Freshman Olivier Hanlan scored 21 of his 24 points in the second half to lead the visiting Eagles past the struggling Tigers.

Boston College (14-16, 6-11 ACC) used a 17-3 second-half run to seize control and move into eighth place with one game to play before the conference tournament. Ryan Anderson had 18 points and Joe Rahon added 10.

In their last regular-season game at Littlejohn Coliseum, seniors Milton Jennings and Devin Booker combined for 37 points for Clemson (13-16, 5-12). Their teammates combined to shoot 10-for-31 from the floor.

Booker's jumper in the closing seconds of the first half gave Clemson a 29-27 lead and the Tigers were up 43-38 with less than 12 minutes left. However, Hanlan hit a 3-pointer to begin the decisive run as the Eagles took a 55-46 lead en route to their second ACC road win.

Rahon, who scored 26 points in a win over Clemson on Feb. 2, had four points during the surge, as did Anderson. The Tigers got within 60-57 on a pair of Booker free throws, but Hanlan hit a jumper with 57 seconds left and then made five free throws in the final 31 seconds to seal it.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Clemson has lost five straight and eight of its last nine. Its final ACC game is at first-place Miami on Saturday. ... Hanlan was 12-for-14 from the line. Clemson was 6-for-10 as a team. ... The Tigers lost for the first time in six games against BC at home.
