Reggie Jackson scored 27 points as Boston College knocked Indiana from the ranks of the unbeaten with an 88-76 victory as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge Wednesday night in Chestnut Hill, Mass.
The Eagles (5-2) used a run of nine consecutive points to grab a 23-10 lead before cruising into the locker room with a 43-29 advantage. Indiana climbed its way back, getting as close as 63-62 on a jumper by Jordan Hulls with 5:44 left in the second half, but Biko Paris responded with a 3-pointer and Boston College followed with a 12-1 surge to put the game away.
Indiana had been making a living off opponent miscues during its six-game win streak, but the Eagles, who turn the ball over less than any team in the country, had just six giveaways on the night. Boston College shot 50.9 percent from the field and made 10 3-pointers.
Paris finished with 19 points for Boston College, while Watford paced the Hoosiers (6-1) with 23 points.
