Boston College’s run of success in home games against the University of New Hampshire ended Tuesday night, when the Wildcats got a 34-point performance from junior forward Clarence Daniels and earned a 74-71 overtime victory.

New Hampshire (3-5) won at BC for the first time in 23 games, and ended a 15-game losing streak against the Eagles. It was New Hampshire’s first victory over BC since 1986.

New Hampshire scored the final eight points of the five-minute overtime. Nick Johnson scored seven of his 20 points in OT.

Daniels, who had 14 rebounds, made a 3-pointer with one second remaining in regulation to send the game to overtime tied 64-64. Daniels has scored in double figures in each of New Hampshire’s eight games this season.

The Wildcats won despite going 10:05 without making a field goal in the second half.
