The great escape: Friars beat Boston College

On the doorstep of one of the most crushing defeats in years, Providence College survived in regulation and then ran away from Boston College in overtime for a 98-89 win at the Garden.

The Friars did everything they could to lose the game in the second half, blowing a 24-point lead. PC missed 5 straight free throws and turning the ball over twice in crunch time. But 3-pointers by Jeff Xavier and Weyinmi Efejuku in the final 1:05 of regulation tied the score, 76-76.

In the extra session, Efejuku dominated and led PC to the win. Efejuku led PC with 21 points, Xavier added 20.
