Cline was 10 for 17 from the floor and all of his rebounds were on the defensive end.
BC (3-3 after also losing to Kansas State in Brooklyn), led by eight at halftime, blew the lead but rallied again to tie the game at 39 with 11:57 remaining. But Richmond outscored the Eagles 28-15 over the final 11:35 to cruise despite a career-high 27 points -- 19 in the first half -- by BC's Jerome Robinson.

Richmond, which won despite going 3 for 16 from behind the arc, also had a 10-0 run in the first half to wipe out a 17-8 deficit before BC extended the lead again before the end of the half..
The Spiders of the Atlantic 10 visit Bucknell Wednesday, while Boston College, which went 0-18 in the ACC last season, hosts Dartmouth on Dec. 3.
