SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — John Holland scored 21 points, Jake O'Brien had 14 points and 13 rebounds, and Boston University rallied to beat Indiana 71-67 last night in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off.

Tyler Morris added 13 points and five assists for the Terriers, who rebounded from a narrow loss to Kansas State in the opening round. Boston U. (1-3) did most of its damage inside, outrebounding the Hoosiers 52-32 and scoring 19 second-chance points.

Maurice Creek scored 17 to lead Indiana (2-2). Verdell Jones III added 14 points and six assists, and Jeremiah Rivers finished with 13 points.

Indiana led 34-29 on a 3-pointer by Devan Dumes at the end of the first half and pushed the lead to 40-31 a few minutes after the break. But the Terriers rallied to tie it 65-65 on a pair of free throws by Corey Lowe with 2:53 to go.

Carlos Strong and Lowe each made a free throw in the closing seconds to help the Terriers hang on.
