Player and Freshman of the Year Jahlil Okafor (Duke), junior Malcolm Brogdon (Virginia), senior Jerian Grant (Notre Dame) and Most Improved Player Rakeem Christmas (Syracuse) round out the team.

Boston College junior guard Olivier Hanlan was named to the 2015 All-Atlantic Coast Conference Team as voted upon by the league’s 15 head coaches.

BC junior guard Olivier Hanlan led the ACC in scoring with 19.4 points per game and has led the Eagles in scoring each of his three seasons.

Originally from Aylmer, Quebec, the New Hampton School product led the ACC in scoring with 19.4 points per game, while his 4.2 assists per game were ninth in the conference.

Hanlan closed out the regular season by reaching double-digit point totals in 24 straight games. Only once this season did he finish with a single-digit point total – a nine-point effort in a win over Marist on Dec. 1.


The 6-foot-4, 190-pound Hanlan has led the Eagles in scoring each of his three seasons on The Heights and was Top 5 in the conference all three years. Last season, he was an All-ACC Third Team selection as a sophomore, when he averaged 18.5 points and 2.9 assists.

On Feb. 26, 2014, Hanlan became the third player in Boston College history (Troy Bell, Craig Smith) and the 29th player in ACC history to eclipse the 1,000-point mark as a sophomore.

Boston College finished 13th out of 15 teams in the ACC standings with a 12-18 overall record and a 4-14 record in league play under first year head coach Jim Christian.

The Eagles will play Georgia Tech (12-18; 3-15 ACC) Tuesday at 1 p.m. in Greensboro, North Carolina, for the right to play No. 19 North Carolina on Wednesday. Boston College took a 64-62 decision at Georgia Tech on Jan. 25.
