Boston College Eagles will try to rectify its shooting issues Sunday against Tulane Green Wave in the consolation game of the Shriners Children's Charleston Classic in Charleston, S.C.

The Eagles (3-3) are one of the nation's worst shooting teams, and it showed Friday in a 59-49 setback to Davidson in Charleston.

The Wildcats held Boston College to 38.8% shooting (19 for 49) from the field, including just 14.3% (3 for 21) from beyond the arc. The Eagles also made only 8 of 14 free throws for a 57.1% clip. Coach Earl Grant's squad entered the contest ranked 323rd or worse among 361 Division I teams in all three areas.

Donald Hand Jr. led Boston College with 14 points on just 5-of-13 shooting, followed by Jayden Hastings, who tallied a season-high 11 points and a career-high 10 rebounds.

The point total was a season-low for the Eagles, who came in averaging 70.4 points. Boston College was ultimately done in by long scoring droughts and a lopsided bench matchup, as the Wildcats' reserves outscored BC's 33-5.

"There is a thing called growth. There's a process. There's a journey," Grant told reporters after the game. "We want to get better and continue to grow. Be able to execute at the highest level we can and continue to defend the way we're capable of."

Tulane (3-2) lost its second straight, a 96-75 defeat to Utah State on Friday as the Green Wave similarly wilted after halftime. The Aggies outscored Tulane in the second half 56-35.

It was the second consecutive game in which the Green Wave allowed a season-high in points, and the first time since 2018-19 that they lost back-to-back games by 20-plus points.

Rowan Bumbraugh, Tulane's leading scorer (20.2 ppg), had a team-high 19 points against Utah State. Asher Woods chipped in with 16 points while Georgetown transfer Curtis Williams Jr. contributed his season average of 11 points off the bench.

"Our guys were ready to play, and then all of a sudden we went on a scoring drought," Tulane coach Ron Hunter told nola.com after the game. " We played with intensity, but we panicked a little bit and took some bad shots when they went on that run."
