Their offense was equally impressive with 14 assists contributing to their total points tally.

From beyond the arc, they managed to sink ten three-pointers at a 34 percent success rate. Although free throw accuracy stood at a lower 53 percent for Boston College, it did not deter them from clinching victory.

Despite committing thirteen turnovers themselves, Boston College managed to keep control over much of the game flow.
Miami (FL) Hurricanes put up a strong fight especially in paint scoring where they edged out with twenty-eight points against Boston College’s twenty-two but fell short overall due in part to their lower field goal percentage which stood at just thirty-four percent from both inside and outside the three-point line.
