Until now. At No. 17 Boston College, Lin bested Eagles guard Tyrese Rice and every other defender as he put up 27 points on 11-of-16 shooting, eight assists, and six steals while only turning the ball over twice in a stunning 82-70 victory...

When we did help, he was able to get rid of it and deliver the ball. In the second half, he just dominated the game for them, taking care of the offense...
That domination started on the opening possession after halftime, when he stole the ball from Rice and coasted for a layup. The second-half highlight show began there, as he went on to score 19 points in that frame. Lin nailed a three in the corner after some great ball movement to make it 42-31 just over three minutes into the second half...
...stole the ball and nearly dunked on BC shooting guard Rakim Saunders, drawing the foul instead...
...With BC All-American guard Tyrese Rice running the offense, Lin stripped him of the ball and broke away for a layup. Senior guard Drew Housman faked and blew by Rice for another layup on the next possession. After a bucket from captain Andrew Pusar and a defensive stop on the other end, Lin drilled a three to cap the Crimson’s quick 9-4 run to go up 42-31. Aided by the loud crowd behind it, BC responded in force, and trailed just 49-43 with 11:42 left. But that was as close...
