Boston College rallies to beat Miami in the Hurricanes’ first game since Jim Larrañaga stepped down

Chad Venning scored 15 of his 17 points in the first half, Fred Payne finished with 15 and Boston College rallied to beat Miami 78-68 on Wednesday in the Hurricanes' first game since Jim Larrañaga stepped down as the men’s basketball coach. The 75-year-old Larrañaga was replaced for the remainder of the season by associate head coach Bill Courtney — one of Larrañaga’s best friends for the past three decades or so. Boston College trailed by as many as 19 points in the first half.
