Boston College 57
In Philadelphia, Delonte West scored 27 points and grabbed nine rebounds, and Jameer Nelson added 13 points to lead Saint Joseph's past Boston College.
The Hawks (6-0) started slowly with some uncharacteristically sloppy play and off-target shooting before West and Nelson passed and shot the Hawks to another easy win.

Nelson had his worst shooting game of the season, making only four of 16 shots, including six of seven 3-pointers. He had seven assists, setting Saint Joseph's career record with 584.
