BC hands No. 1 Duke its 1st loss

Outside the Boston College basketball office, on the way to the practice gym, the walls are decorated with giant pictures from the Eagles’ biggest wins.

The Sweet 16 appearance in 2006. Upsets over No. 1 North Carolina and No. 6 Duke in 2009. A victory over top-ranked Syracuse four years ago.

Make room for an addition: Boston College 89, Duke 84, an upset Saturday that sent the No. 1 Blue Devils to their first loss.

“We’re putting one up for this one,” coach Jim Christian said. “If you get a poster up on that wall, that’s a big thing.”

Ky Bowman scored 30 points, adding 10 rebounds and nine assists to help host Boston College (7-3, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) win its third straight game. Jordan Chatman scored 22, hitting four straight free throws in the final 16 seconds to ice it.

Gary Trent Jr. scored 25 and Marvin Bagley III had 15 points and 12 rebounds for Duke (11-1, 0-1 ACC).

The Blue Devils erased a 10-point deficit in the second half and led 79-75 with 3 minutes, 30 seconds to play. Boston College scored 12 of the next 14 points, getting a pair of 3-pointers from Robinson . “This isn’t about us being horrible. This is about how great they were. They were terrific. Not good, terrific,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We’ve got to get better. But I knew that. If we won, I would tell you we have to get better.” Layups: Jaylen Barford scored 22 points and Daniel Gafford added 16 on 8-of-8 shooting to help Arkansas continue its hot start at home with a 95-79 win over No. 14 Minnesota. The victory is the first for the Razorbacks (7-2) over a top 15 team since defeating No. 5 Texas A&M during the 2015-16 season, and it extends their home winning streak to eight games. The loss is the third in the last four games for the Golden Gophers (8-3) . ... Chris Chiozza scored the final six points of the game and No. 5 Florida (6-3) snapped a three-game losing streak with a 66-60 victory over No. 17 Cincinnati at the Never Forget Tribute Classic in Newark, NJ. The Bearcats (7-2) lost their second straight game.
