BOSTON (AP) Steffon Mitchell did a lot more than score points and grab rebounds for Boston College. He was the spark they needed defensively and hustled to chase down loose balls, too.

Mitchell had 15 points with 13 boards, and the Eagles pulled away from Albany in the second half for a 72-51 victory on Tuesday night.

To go along with his strong scoring and rebounding, the 6-foot-8 junior forward had a game-high five steals, going to the floor a couple of times for loose balls that led to baskets.
