Boston College 76, Virginia Tech 52: Joe Rahon and Ryan Anderson combined for 38 points to lead the Eagles to a season sweep of their Atlantic Coast Conference series over the visiting Hokies.

Rahon scored 20 points and Anderson had 18 points, eight rebounds and five blocked shots as Boston College (6-14, 2-5 ACC) snapped a three-game skid in coming off an eight-day break. Patrick Heckmann came off the Eagles' bench for a season-high 14 points to outscore the Hokies' bench (11 points) while Olivier Hanlan added 11 points.

Jarell Eddie had a game-high 23 points and nine rebounds as the lone scorer in double figures for Virginia Tech (8-12, 1-7), which dropped its seventh in a row. Eddie finished with three of the Hokies' four 3-pointers, with the other by Ben Emelogu, who was Virginia Tech's next highest scorer with eight points.

The Eagles buried the ball in the first half, shooting 68.4 percent from the floor, including 7-of-12 from beyond the arc en route to a season-best 14-of-36 from 3-point range. Rahon and Anderson carried Boston College while Eddie was 7-of-10 from the floor in the half for 19 points as the rest of the Hokies shot only 6-of-20 to head into the break trailing 46-33.

The Eagles opened the second half with an 8-0 run, capped by back-to-back 3-pointers from Hanlan, to put the Hokies on ice at 54-33. Virginia Tech never drew closer than 18 points the rest of the way as the Hokies shot only 5-of-23 from the floor in the second half and were 0-for-7 from 3-point range.

GAME NOTEBOOK: The Hokies were without their third-leading scorer, G Adam Smith, who was sidelined with a calf injury. … Boston College improved to 11-1 all-time at home against Virginia Tech. … The Eagles, who rank last in the ACC in offensive rebounds, had only 10 boards on the offensive end, but outrebounded the Hokies, 25-20, under their own basket.
