BOSTON (AP) - Boston College certainly didn't shoot free throws well the entire game. Luckily, though, Jairus Hamilton was able to hit a few long jumpers at the right time.

Jairus Hamilton made two key 3-pointers in the final six minutes and finished with a career-best 23 points, Jay Heath added 15 points and BC snapped a four-game losing streak with a 61-56 victory over Virginia Tech Saturday afternoon.

"Like I told our team after the game, there's a lot of ways to win it," Eagles coach Jim Christian said. "You can win a game on defense and I thought we won on defense today."
