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...
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...

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...
...quite possibly had the game of his career. The junior posted an unreal stat line, shooting 11-of-16 from the floor, dishing out eight assists against two turnovers, and adding six steals to flabbergast the Eagle ballhanders. Defensively, he went head-to-head with an All-American guard, Rice, who had just torched UNC for 25 points in the previous game. Rice, BC’s leading scorer entering the contest, had just three points until there was 4:02 remaining in the game. He finished with 14 points...
