BOSTON — Rakim Sanders scored 21
points, Joe Trapani had 18 and Boston College recovered from a dismal
non-conference loss with a 89-32 win over New Jersey Institute of
Technology on Tuesday.
It was the fourth victory in five
games for the Eagles (10-5), who completed the softer portion of their
schedule and resume Atlantic Coast Conference play this week. They
travel to Clemson on Saturday and play at No. 5 Duke next Wednesday.
But it was hardly an easy start this
season for BC, which lost home games to Harvard, Rhode Island and,
recently, Maine — all teams from weaker conferences.
Reggie Jackson added 15 points for BC.
Isaiah Wilkerson and Jheryl Wilson led NJIT (5-10) with 11 points apiece. The Highlanders shot just 23.5 percent.
BC, which shot 60 percent in the opening 20 minutes, led 45-15 at halftime.
