Reggie Jackson helped Boston College overcome a hot-shooting Bucknell team Wednesday night in an 84-80 non-conference victory.

Jackson scored 22 points, including 15 in the second half, as the Eagles fought back from a 42-39 halftime deficit.

Joe Trapani and Josh Southern each scored 16 points and Biko Paris added 14 for Boston College (10-2), which has won seven straight.

Bryson Johnson scored 25 points to lead Bucknell (6-7), which had a four-game win streak snapped.

The Bison shot a sizzling 15-of-29 (52 percent) from 3-point range. Johnson hit 7-of-12 on 3-pointers and Bryan Cohen was 3-of-4 from the arc and added 13 points for Bucknell.

Mike Muscala added 14 points and guard Darryl Shazier had eight points, six rebounds, 10 assists and no turnovers for the Bison.

The game was pretty crisp, at least on the offensive end for both teams as they combined for just 12 turnovers, five by the Eagles, and hit 27 3-pointers on 59 attempts.
