One explanation for the UNC basketball team's two-game losing streak entering Saturday afternoon's home bout against the Boston College Eagles was the back-to-back single-digit scoring performances by Ian Jackson after the electrifying Tar Heel freshman had routinely reached 20 points across the previous four weeks.

The UNC men's basketball team (13-8, 6-3 ACC) scraped by Boston College (9-11, 1-8 ACC), 102-96, on Saturday afternoon in the Dean E. Smith Center.

Boston College will take on a struggling UNC squad tomorrow afternoon. The Eagles travel to Chapel Hill having lost their last 5 games. The Tar Heels are looking to end a losing streak of their own having lost their last two against Wake Forest and Stanford.
