BOSTON, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Delonte West scored 20 points and Tyrone Barley had five 3-pointers Tuesday as 14th-ranked St. Joseph's posted a 71-56 victory over Boston University.
St. Joseph's sank 12 3-pointers for the second straight game, nailing 8-of-16 in the first half. The Hawks established a 17-6 lead just over eight minutes in on back-to-back 3-pointers by Barley and Chet Stachitas.
With the Terriers' defense focusing on All-American guard Jameer Nelson, St. Joseph's shooters relieved some of the pressure. Barley used the 3-pointer for all of his 15 points and West mixed it up, adding three from the arc.
West's floater at the halftime buzzer capped a 13-2 tear and gave the Hawks a 37-24 advantage. Nelson, who was just 2-of-9 on 3-pointers, netted 13 points.
Boston University was led by Ryan Butt's 20 points.
