BOSTON — Boston College shocked another one of the top Atlantic Coast Conference teams.

Reggie Jackson broke the game's final tie with a drive with 47.2 seconds left and the Eagles scored the final six points in an 80-74 victory over No. 6 Duke yesterday, their first win over the Blue Devils in 24 years.

Tyrese Rice had 21 points, including a key 3-pointer, and Joe Trapani added 20 for the Eagles (19-8, 7-5). Jackson finished with 15 points.

"We always felt that we had the talent," Boston College coach Al Skinner said. "It's getting them to understand what it takes."

It was BC's second win over a highly ranked team this season. The Eagles handed then-No. 1 North Carolina its first loss, 85-78, in Chapel Hill on Jan. 4.

After that game they lost to Harvard.

"I would say, 'In a perfect world we're beating Duke and Carolina in my first year in the league,' " said a smiling Trapani, who sat out last season after transferring from Vermont.

With Rice seemingly handling the ball nearly every key play down the stretch, BC pulled out one of its biggest home wins in years.

"They're good and they have one of the best players in the country," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said, referring to Rice.

Rice, who became the seventh Boston College player to reach 2,000 points, grabbed a key rebound on a Duke miss before hitting two free throws that made it 78-74.

"This is a big stage," Skinner said. "He showed the type of player he is. I'm not sure I'd certainly take some of those shots, but you've just got to let him."

Kyle Singler had 25 points for the Blue Devils (20-5, 7-4).
