BOSTON (AP) — Biko Paris hit six 3-pointers and finished with 18 points to lead Boston College to its sixth straight victory, 93-77 over Bryant University on Sunday.

Josh Southern scored 18 on 8-of-9 shooting, Reggie Jackson had 16 and nine assists, and Corey Raji added 15 points for the Eagles (9-2). BC shot 57.6 percent from the field (34 of 59) and was 13 of 23 on 3-pointers.

Alex Francis and Matthew Lee led Bryant (1-9) with 15 points apiece. The Bulldogs lost their seventh straight game and fell to 0-3 all-time against BC.

BC, which connected on 8 of 13 from 3-point range in the opening 20 minutes, led 51-34 at halftime. The Eagles shot 64 percent in the opening half.

The opening 10 minutes of the game were scrappy, well contested and had their share of good outside shooting until the Eagles took charge by scoring 14 unanswered points — 12 coming from four consecutive 3s.
