one guy in there that all of a sudden is taken out, Heck sai

BOSTON -- Boston College coach Jim Christian saw his team play very well with the game tight in the closing minutes.Its something that was rare for the Eagles last season.Jerome Robinson scored a career-high 24 points, Ky Bowman had 14 and Boston College beat Towson 80-70 on Tuesday night for its third consecutive victory.The Tigers had just grabbed a 57-56 edge on John Davis hook in the lane with 8:35 to play. Christian called timeout and was pleased with what he saw.I was proud of our guys when they took the lead with that timeout, he said. There wasnt any heads down. There was just talk about what they needed to do to fix the defense and they did it.Connar Tava scored 13 points and Jordan Chatman added 10 points for the Eagles (3-1).Mike Morsell led the Tigers (2-2) with 24 points. Amaud William Adala Moto had 18 before fouling out in the final minute.Neither team held more than a two-possession lead for over 15 minutes until BC went on an 8-0 spree, pushing it to 74-65 with 53 seconds to play.We tried to make some hero plays, Towson coach Pat Skerry said. We did some things that we must get better at to be honest with you.Tavas basket in the lane pushed BC up 68-65. Nik Popovic hit a jumper before Bowman sealed it with four free throws.They took the lead and we didnt back down, BC forward A.J. Turner said. We didnt let that affect us. We just fought right back.The Eagles led 45-27 at halftime.BC used an 11-3 spree to pull ahead 33-20 in the first half, with Robinsons 3-pointer from the top capping the run. Chapman also had a pair of 3s -- one from each side of the court -- coming 1:32 apart.BIG PICTURETowson: The Tigers looked a little flat at the start and played very soft defensively, giving BC numerous easy looks before they clamped down over the final 20 minutes.Give them credit. They were more ready to play than us, Skerry said. We just didnt play Towson basketball. We let an opportunity slip. We didnt guard. We historically guard and rebound. We didnt do either one of them well enough tonight.Boston College: For the second straight game the Eagles showed immediate confidence, played with poise and got off to a fast start before fading. Its something that was lacking most of entire games last season and likely shows a team thats maturing.Were starting to gain confidence, Christian said. Theyre starting to see when we execute things work.POUND THE GLASSBC owned a 36-26 rebounding edge, collecting 10 on the offensive glass.The one thing thats happened the last two games is weve rebounded the ball, Christian said. I think theyre understanding that if we do these certain things weve got a chance to win the game.Tava led the way with eight boards.PERFECTThe Eagles were 20 for 20 from the free throw line in the second half.SLOWER PACEBoth teams tightened up defensively in the second half after an up-and-down, wide-open first, causing longer possessions and a much slower pace.It also slowed things when BC switched to a zone defense for about five minutes late in the half, forcing Towson to move the ball around the perimeter.UP NEXTTowson: Faces Stony Brook in the Barclays Classic on Friday.Boston College: Plays Kansas State Friday at the Barclays Center.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Behind all the big scores and impressive yardage totals for North Carolina last season was an offensive line that stayed healthy and built plenty of chemistry.The Tar Heels are in position to do it again, providing they can compensate for the loss of a veteran projected starter due to injury.Senior right guard John Ferranto suffered a torn left pectoral muscle during a workout in July, an injury set to sideline him all season. Thats left a big hole as the Tar Heels work through preseason camp ahead of the Sept. 3 opener against Georgia in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff game.UNC has looked at juniors Brad Henson and R.J. Prince, and redshirt freshman Tommy Hatton at the position so far.Its a fluid situation, line coach Chris Kapilovic said. Havent seen anybody really just be the guy yet. Youre seeing some up-and-down movements from all three of them.About a month ago, the line looked set. Ferranto was slated to replace Associated Press first-team All-American Landon Turner, giving UNC a versatile player who had taken snaps at multiple positions. And Ferranto was joining four other linemen with at least 10 starts last season.Three of those are now seniors -- center Lucas Crowley, left guard Caleb Peterson and right tackle Jon Heck -- who started all 14 games in an 11-win season. The other is junior Bentley Spain, who started 10 games at left tackle.On the preseason depth chart, Henson was listed as a backup right guard after playing in every game and getting 173 snaps. Prince was tthe backup right tackle after playing about 200 snaps.dddddddddddd Hatton was the backup center.Kapilovic said he has rotated Henson and Hatton to develop center depth even while they get looks at right guard, too.I dont know if it necessarily throws things completely off with (Ferranto) being out because in the spring, we never had one guy in there that all of a sudden is taken out, Heck said. Its been a rotation at right guard since the end of last season. It hasnt necessarily thrown things off, but it was a huge loss.Finding the right mix is critical for the Tar Heels. Last years line was part of an offense that put up program records of 40.7 points and 486.9 yards per game -- including a dominating two-game November stretch of 125 points against Atlantic Coast Conference division opponents Duke and Miami.The Tar Heels have a new full-time starting quarterback in Mitch Trubisky along with big-play returnees in tailback Elijah Hood, and receivers Ryan Switzer and Mack Hollins.Theyre looking great so far this camp and weve got to keep getting better every day, Trubisky said. But it is reassuring to know the chemistry we have on the O-line as well as in the offensive room. Were just going to push each other no matter who it is in there.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap---APs college football site at http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
