Junior forward Corey Raji had 19 points and 14 rebounds to lead Boston College to a 99-58 rout of Division 2 St. Michael’s in an exhibition game Sunday afternoon at Conte Forum.

Sophomore guard Reggie Jackson, who hit 5-of-6 3-pointers, led all scorers with 23 points and was one of six Eagles in double figures.

Tyler Schilling scored a team-high 12 points for St. Michael’s, which held a 20-19 lead nine minutes into the game. Then Tyler Roche, BC’s lone senior, hit a 3-pointer to start a 22-2 run, and BC was never threatened thereafter. The Eagles, who hit 11-of-19 3-pointers, led 57-30 at the break.

“We started off the game a little slow, but things kind of picked up in the second and third quarter,” BC coach Al Skinner said. “I thought we did a decent job defensively and that allowed us to stretch the lead out a little bit.”

BC, coming off a 22-12 season in 2008-09 but no longer with standout guard Tyrese Rice in the lineup, opens the season Friday night at home against Dartmouth.

   Leads me to believe that we should be nervous for the opener at home against Dartmouth.
