Chris Jones scored 28 points, including a pair of 3-pointers after Boston College cut a 10-point deficit to one, and No. 10 Louisville held on to beat the Eagles 81-72 on Wednesday night.

Jones scored 10 of the Cardinals' next 12 points after BC cut the lead to 62-61 with just over 5 minutes left. Terry Rozier scored 23 for Louisville (17-3, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), making a pair of 3s down the stretch as the Cardinals struggled to hold on.

Aaron Brown scored a career-high 28 for BC (9-10, 1-6). The Eagles were coming off their first ACC win of the season, against Georgia Tech on Sunday.

Rozier made a 3-pointer to put Louisville up 59-49 with 8:04 to play, the first double-digit lead of the game. But BC scored the next eight — five by Patrick Heckmann and a 3-pointer from Olivier Hanlan, who finished with 11 points and nine assists.
