Waggoner averaged 22.5 points and 12.0 rebounds in Boston College’s pair of conference victories over No. 9 NC State and Florida State last week. The Nashville, Tennessee, native tallied a game-high 23 points, including nine in the fourth quarter, to pace the visiting Eagles to a 79-71 win over the Wolfpack.
