Keeps streak alive Saturday Hand had 22 points (6-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT) and six rebounds in 35 minutes during Saturday's 70-62 loss to North Carolina State.
Impact Hand didn't have his best shooting display from an efficient standpoint, but fantasy managers who are rostering him will gladly overlook that as long as he continues to score at the same rate he's done it of late. He's posted at least 17 points in six games in a row, a span in which he's averaging 23.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists per contest.

Snaps losing streak with 31 Hand logged 31 points (8-17 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 9-9 FT) and nine rebounds in 38 minutes during Saturday's 77-76 win over Florida State.
Impact It was the best scoring output of the season for Boston College's leading scorer, as Hand helped the Eagles to their second conference victory, effectively snapping a six-game skid. While Hand's individual outlook remains optimistic, BC is well on the outside looking in with respect to an NCAA Tournament berth. It will need some magic in March, and Hand appears to be one of the few players capable of providing it.

Goes for 17 points Monday Hand accumulated 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 78-60 loss to Notre Dame.
Impact Hand has surpassed the 15-point mark in four of his last six games, and he's eclipsed the 20-point plateau thrice over that stretch. Firmly entrenched as Boston College's most reliable option on offense, he's averaging 15.4 points per game since the beginning of December.

Scores 17 points Friday Hand amassed 17 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 72-69 win over Temple.
Impact Hand has emerged as Boston College's best player in the first two weeks of the regular season. He's scored at least 17 points in his three outings, and even though his shooting has been poor with just 34.2 percent of efficiency from the field, he's shooting with enough volume to remain valuable in most formats.

Scores 22 points Monday Hand posted 22 points (4-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 11-11 FT), 10 rebounds, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 69-60 win over Citadel.
Impact Hand was the best player for the Eagles in this season-opening win over Citadel, leading the team in both points and rebounds. One game is not enough to draw conclusions, especially since the Eagles suffered lots of changes to their roster compared to 2023-24 campaign, but the usage rate suggests Hand should have a prominent role on offense for BC in 2024-25.

Three three-pointers made Hand logged nine points (3-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across his 18 minutes during Boston College's 89-70 win Monday against Fairfield.
Impact Hand made more three-pointers Monday than during his first season, when he suffered a torn ACL. The redshirt freshman needed almost 11 months to recover from knee surgery. But healthy now, Hand can show how skilled a scorer he is. The guard-forward averaged 25.0 points during his senior season of high school.
