Jaeden Zackery led No. 11 Clemson to a 78-69 victory over Boston College, scoring 21 points in his return to Chestnut Hill. Clemson, now 25-5 overall and 17-2 in the ACC, maintained a strong lead throughout the game but faced a late challenge from BC, which cut a 16-point deficit to just two. Key contributions came from Chase Hunter with 18 points and Viktor Lakhin, who added 11 points and 13 rebounds. Despite the loss, Boston College's Jayden Hastings scored a career-high 18 points, but the team has been eliminated from ACC Tournament contention.
