This was only a seven-point game early in the second half before the host Eagles went on a long run to pull away and win 84-65.
Jerome Robinson had five points and assisted on two other baskets during a 19-2 run over a 4 1/2-minute span that turned a 45-38 lead into a 64-40 advantage. The lead grew to as large as 70-43 on a Luka Kraljevic 3-pointer at the 10:39 mark. Ky Bowman, an excellent all-around player for the Eagles, assisted on that bucket (one of 17 Boston College assists on 32 made baskets).
Bowman finished with 14 points, one of five in double figures (Robinson had 13), while Steffon Mitchell had 13 points and 14 rebounds (8! offensive), Jordan Chatman led the way with 15 points & reserve Nik Popovic added 11 points and four assists.
Central Connecticut State played well in the opening half, shooting 54% from the field, including hitting eight of its first 12 shots. The long Boston College run at the start of the second half contributed heavily to the Blue Devils shooting just 31% (11-for-35) over the final 20 minutes.
Mustafa Jones had a nice night for the visitors, showcasing a soft touch around the rim and jumpers from a variety of distances to finish with 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting. His teammate, Tyler Kohl led all scorers with 17 points.
