Snaps scoring drought Saturday Taylor totaled 19 points (6-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 70-62 win over Boston College.

Impact Taylor played a significant role in the Wolfpack's win over the Eagles, but perhaps even more importantly, the senior forward snapped a five-game scoring streak in which he didn't reach the 10-point plateau. Taylor is averaging 10.9 points per game over his last 12 contests since the beginning of January, but the lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis limits his upside a bit.
