Boston College fell 77-70 to UNLV in the NIT Second Round, ending Earl Grant’s third season.
Mason Madsen canned a three to draw first blood, but both offenses were clicking early. Post took a dribble-drive to the rack for an easy deuce, using his height advantage, but UNLV found points easy to come by – attacking McGlockton in the paint and connecting from distance. A lot of tough shots fell early for the Rebels, spotting them an early two-possession lead. Jaeden Zackery, however, looked energetic. He freed up for a nice midrange jumper and then cut to the rack for an easy deuce, fueling BC’s offense and keeping them within five.
