One week after being named ACC Freshman of the Year by the league’s media, Boston College guard Olivier Hanlan was named Rookie of the Year by the league’s coaches.

Hanlan averaged 15.4 points per game, ranking him fifth in the ACC. He scored an ACC freshman record 41 points in BC’s ACC tournament victory over Georgia Tech on Thursday.

Miami won the league’s other three awards announced Tuesday: Player of the Year for Shane Larkin, Defensive Player of the Year for Durand Scott and Coach of the Year for Jim Larranaga.

Hanlan was a unanimous choice on the coaches’ All-ACC Freshman team, while teammate Ryan Anderson was named All-ACC third team.

Two days after being named ACC Freshman of the Year, Boston College guard Olivier Hanlan exploded for 41 points, setting an ACC tournament first-round scoring record in leading the Eagles to an 84-64 victory over Georgia Tech in Greensboro, N.C.

Eight-seeded BC (16-16) advances to play ACC regular-season champion Miami in Friday’s quarterfinals.

Hanlan, who shot 14-of-18, including 8-of-10 3-pointers, and hit his final 12 shots, surpassed the all-time freshman scoring record of 40 points, set by North Carolina’s Harrison Barnes in 2011, and he came within four points of the highest-scoring game in ACC tournament history (45 by UNC’s Lenny Rosenbluth in 1957). He also scored the most points by any ACC player this season.

“I felt everything was going in,” Hanlan said in an on-court interview with ESPN after the game. “I was lucky enough to have my teammates finding me on the wings. I was just hot. I was lucky today.”

Said BC coach Steve Donahue: “I think after those first two misses, I think they kind of relaxed on him, and he took that as a challenge. I know he’s worked very hard on his stand-still shooting. He’s a very good stand-still shooter, and I think he showed that today.”

Also for BC, Joe Rahon had 15 points and seven assists, Ryan Anderson scored 11 points, Patrick Heckmann netted 10 and Eddie Odio had seven points and 10 rebounds.

Marcus Georges-Hunt had 21 points and 11 rebounds for Georgia Tech (16-15), which shot just 32 percent for the game.

The way this one started out, it did not appear that BC would be sticking around long. The Eagles surrendered the first 15 points of the game, shooting 0-for-9 and turning the ball over three times until Odio followed his own miss with a dunk 5:14 into the game. That started a run of nine BC points, capped by 3-pointers from Hanlan and Rahon, to get the Eagles back in the game.

“We just started out flat and we were just not aggressive,” Hanlan said. “When we called that first timeout, coach was like, we’ve got to be aggressive, not be scared on offense and just really get stops on defense. So, we really turned it up.”

Hanlan later scored six points during an 11-0 BC run that got the Eagles with three points, 28-25. BC’s first-half comeback was complete when, in the final minute, Heckmann hit a driving layup to to the score. Hanlan followed with a steal and short bank shot and then swished a 3-pointer with two seconds left to cap a 7-0 run and give BC a 38-33 halftime lead.

Hanlan had 21 of BC’s 38 first-half points.

The Eagles built their lead up to double digits three minutes into the second half and pulled away from there.

Olivier Hanlan

Boston College guard Olivier Hanlan was named ACC Freshman of the Year, the league announced Tuesday. Hanlan, who on Monday was the only unanimous selection to the league’s All-Freshman team, received 43 of 77 votes, well ahead of Duke’s Rasheed Sulaimon (15) and NC State’s T.J. Warren (12).

Hanlan, who also was an All-ACC honorable mention, averages 14.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists.

“It is a great honor for him and well deserved, mostly because he is someone who is putting a great amount of work in to improve both on and off the basketball court,” BC coach Steve Donahue said in a release from the school. “It is also a credit to his teammates for trusting him with the ball quite a bit. Their unselfishness has made him better as well.”

BC plays in the ACC tournament on Thursday at noon against Georgia Tech.

Ryan Anderson

Boston College sophomore Ryan Anderson was named to the All-ACC third team, while teammate Olivier Hanlan was the only unanimous choice for the All-ACC Freshman team, the conference announced Monday. (For a complete list of the honorees, click here.)

Hanlan also was named ACC Rookie of the Week on Monday, his fourth such honor.

Anderson ranks fourth in the ACC in rebounding (8.1 rpg) and sixth in scoring (15.1 ppg). Hanlan is eighth in the league in scoring (14.6 ppg).

The Eagles open play in the ACC Tournament in Greensboro, N.C., on Thursday at noon against Georgia Tech.

Olivier Hanlan

Freshman guard Olivier Hanlan scored 21 of his 24 points in the second half to lead Boston College to a 68-61 victory at Clemson on Tuesday night.

Sophomore forward Ryan Anderson had 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Eagles (14-16, 6-11 ACC), who rallied in the second half and then held off a late Clemson surge. Freshman guard Joe Rahon added 10 points and seven boards.

Senior forwards Devin Booker (19 points, eight rebounds) and Milton Jennings (18 points, seven boards) led the way for Clemson (13-16, 5-12) on Senior Night at Littlejohn Coliseum, where the Tigers had not lost to the Eagles in five previous meetings all-time.

BC trailed by five with 11:47 left, 43-38, but Hanlan fueled a 17-3 run with nine points (including BC’s first seven). When Anderson hit a layup with 5:13 remaining, the BC lead was 11 at 55-46. Clemson closed to within three points with 1:35 left on two free throws by Booker, but Hanlan hit a clutch 19-foot step-back jumper with 56 seconds left and then made 5-of-6 free throws in the final 31 seconds to ice it

BC, which entered the night in a four-way tie for eighth place in the conference, closes out the regular season with a game vs. Georgia Tech on Saturday at Conte Forum.

Ryan Anderson

Michael Snaer scored 21 points to lead Florida State to a 69-66 victory over Boston College on Saturday afternoon in Tallahassee, Fla.

Olivier Hanlan scored 19 points for BC (11-14, 3-9), while Ryan Anderson had 10 points and 11 rebounds. The Eagles rallied late and had a chance to tie at the buzzer, but Anderson’s 3-point try bounced off the rim.

The Seminoles (14-11, 6-6) led by as much as 12 in the first half before settling for a 31-26 halftime lead. BC took a 45-42 lead after a Patrick Heckmann 3-pointer with just over 13 minutes remaining, but FSU responded with a 12-2 run and never trailed again.

The margin was seven with just over two minutes left when Joe Rahon hit a 3-pointer to start BC’s final push. After four free throws for each team, Lonnie Jackson hit a layup with six seconds left to make it a two-point game.

Terry Whisnant II hit 1-of-2 free with five seconds left to up FSU’s lead to three, and Anderson’s attempt to tie it bounced off the front rim, giving BC’s its sixth ACC loss by five points or less.

The Eagles next host Maryland on Tuesday.

Boston College has shown the ability to play with most every team in the ACC. What the Eagles can’t seem to do is come up with a basket in the closing seconds of a winnable game. That trend continued Sunday night at Conte Forum, as fourth-ranked Duke scored the game’s final six points and escaped with a 62-61 victory behind 19 points and 10 rebounds from Mason Plumlee.

Oliver Hanlan scored a game-high 20 points for the Eagles (10-13, 2-8 ACC), but his pull-up jumper just inside the free throw line with four seconds left was well off to the left. Teammate Ryan Anderson (17 points) grabbed the rebound and was undercut from behind by Duke’s Quinn Cook, falling to the ground and losing the ball, but no foul was called and time expired as the players scrambled for possession.

BC used a late 10-1 run — sparked by Anderson’s six points and one assist — to take a 61-56 lead with 2:15 left after two free throws from Hanlan. However, the Eagles would not score again. Duke (21-2, 8-2) started its comeback with a 3-pointer by Cook with just under two minutes left. With 46 seconds remaining, two free throws from Plumlee tied it at 61.

Following a missed 3-point try from BC’s Joe Rahon, Plumlee was fouled after grabbing the rebound. He hit 1-of-2 free throws with 25 seconds left for a 62-61 Duke lead.

Duke, which had to fly into Boston earlier Sunday due to snowstorm-forced airline cancellations Saturday, came out flat. The Blue Devils did not score for the first five minutes, but BC only managed four points in the that time. The teams were tied at 27 at the half.

Seth Curry finished with 18 points for Duke, the only team in the AP’s top five not to lose in the past week.

BC next host Wake Forest on Wednesday night.

Elsewhere on Sunday, Harvard lost for the time in Ivy League play this season, a 78-63 setback at Columbia in a game delayed one day by the snowstorm. Wesley Saunders scored 27 points for the Crimson (13-7, 5-1). Columbia’s Steve Frankoski also scored 27.

Rion Brown scored 22 points, hitting 5-of-7 3-pointers, as eighth-ranked Miami rolled to a 72-50 victory over Boston College on Tuesday night in Coral Gables, Fla.

Kenny Kadji added 16 points and eight rebounds for the Hurricanes (18-3, 9-0 ACC), who never trailed. After BC cut a 10-point halftime deficit to six early in the second half, Kadji sparked a 17-4 run by scoring 10 points (including a four-point play) over his team’s next four possessions.

For BC, Olivier Hanlan scored 16 points, but he was the only Eagle to shoot at least 50 percent (8-for-14). BC finished at 37.0 percent, and just 21.7 percent from 3-point range. Ryan Anderson contributed 14 points and 11 rebounds.

The road gets no easier for the Eagles (10-12, 2-7), as they next host fourth-ranked Duke on Sunday night.

Boston College guard Olivier Hanlan was named the ACC Rookie of the Week on Monday for the second consecutive week and third time this season.

Hanlan had 17 points on 6-of-10 shooting to go along with four rebounds and four assists in BC’s only game last week, a loss to Miami. The freshman from Quebec is averaging 13.6 points per game.

Olivier Hanlan

Poor free throw shooting has been a problem for Boston College in the early part of the conference schedule. On Wednesday night the Eagles paid the ultimate price for another bad night from the line, including two key misses in the final minute.

Olivier Hanlan, who scored a game-high 17 points, had both of the misses, including the final one with 0.5 seconds remaining, as the Eagles dropped a 60-59 decision to Miami at Conte Forum.

Lonnie Jackson scored 16 points for BC (9-8, 1-3 ACC), while Ryan Anderson had 11 points and six rebounds. BC hit just 11-of-18 free throws (61 percent), with Hanlan, a 75 percent shooter on the season, going 5-for-10. In four ACC games, the Eagles are shooting 65 percent from the line, 6 percentage points below their season average.

Durand Scott led Miami (13-3, 4-0) with 15 points, going 4-for-4 from the line in the final 30 seconds, and Kenny Kadji netted 14. The Hurricanes played their eighth straight game without injured center Reggie Johnson, who is averaging a double-double this season.

With the Eagles holding a 57-56 lead and 43 seconds remaining, Hanlan missed the front end of a 1-and-1. At the other end, Scott was fouled driving to the basket and hit two free throws to put Miami up by one. After Joe Rahon was called for an offensive foul, Scott was fouled again and he hit two more free throws for a three-point Miami lead with 11 seconds remaining.

BC struggled to get someone open for a look at a potential game-tying 3-pointer. Eventually, Hanlan cut through the defense at the top of the arc and was fouled by Scott as he tried to shoot just before the buzzer. Needing to hit all three free throws to force overtime, Hanlan coaxed the first two in — getting friendly bounces off the rim on both — but front-rimmed his final attempt.

This one was close throughout. BC led by two at the break, 28-26, and the biggest lead for either team all night was a six-point advantage that BC had on two occasions midway through the second half.

The Eagles are off until Tuesday night, when they play at Maryland. The Terps also had a dramatic finish Wednesday, knocking off 14th-ranked NC State, 51-50, on an Alex Len lay-in with less than a second remaining.
