Rodney Bullock led Providence (10-3) with 23 points, and Emmitt Holt scored 16 and grabbed 11 rebounds. The Friars had their six-game winning streak halted.
Trailing by three midway into the second half, the Eagles caught fire from beyond the arc and nailed five 3-pointers during a 25-2 run that pushed it to 70-50 with 4:11 to go.
The Friars then used a full-court press to rattle BC during a 14-0 run before the Eagles held on.
Turner also had two 3-pointers during the key stretch. The Eagles were just 5 for 14 on 3s before the run.
BIG PICTURE
Boston College: The Eagles appear to have found an additional scorer with Bowman's recent play to go along with Robinson, who entered second in the Atlantic Coast Conference at 20.5 per game. Coming off a 33-point effort in a loss to Fairfield on Wednesday, Bowman scored nine of BC's initial 13 points to start the second half.
MOVING ON
BC announced before the game that F guard Ty Graves asked for and was granted his release from the team.
He was averaging 18.8 minutes and 4.8 points per game, though his minutes declined recently with the play of Bowman.
OLD FRIENDS
