Boston College 66, Wake Forest 63: Joe Rahon scored 12 points, including the go-ahead free throw with seven seconds remaining, as the Eagles kept the visiting Demon Deacons winless in ACC road games.
Rahon was one of four players to score in double figures for Boston College (11-13, 3-8 ACC). Patrick Heckmann's 14 points led the way, with Ryan Anderson scoring 12 and Lonnie Jackson 10.
Wake Forest's C.J. Harris went 8-of-10 from the floor for 23 points. Travis McKie added 11 points for Wake Forest (11-13, 4-8), which lost despite shooting 51.1 percent.
Wake Forest appeared well on its way to its first road conference victory, holding the Eagles scoreless for nearly five full minutes late in the second half to build a 63-56 lead on Harris' layup with 2:13 left. Boston College pulled within 63-62 on a bucket and two free throws by Olivier Hanlan, which sandwiched Eddie Odio's dunk.
Then after Wake turned over the ball on a five-second violation, Rahon was fouled on the ensuing possession and hit the tying and winning free throws. Jackson sank a pair of insurance free throws after another Wake Forest turnover.
