Against Boston College (9-5, 1-2 ACC), the same story played out again. It is starting to become more repetitive with the number of things that go wrong each second half. It's becoming apparent that the worst defenders on the team are the guards for the Hurricanes.

Boston College was down by as many as 19 points with 8:38 remaining in the first half, however the Eagles went on a 16-9 run down the stretch and cut their deficit to 12 heading into halftime. The run was led by center Chad Venning, who scored 11 of the team’s 16. In total, Venning tallied 17 points which led the team.

The 75-year-old Jim Larrañaga was replaced for the remainder of the season by associate head coach Bill Courtney — one of Larrañaga’s best friends for the past three decades or so.
