BC 64, Fordham 55 — Jerome Robinson scored 19 points and the Eagles made five of six free throws in the final 30 seconds to send the Eagles to a victory at Barclays Center in New York.

‘‘The defense was phenomenal for 40 minutes, which we have not done,’’ BC coach Jim Christian said. ‘‘We knew they would make a run and we kept our composure and made free throws at that point.’’

The Eagles (6-6) won their third straight game and ended the Rams’ nine-game win streak. Eli Carter added 12 points for BC.

The Eagles led throughout the second half, but Fordham (9-2) closed to 59-55 with 33 seconds to play. The Eagles sealed the win with Robinson and Carter making two free throws each in the closing half-minute while A.J. Turner went 1 for 2.

Antwoine Anderson had 14 points for Fordham and Ryan Rhoomes added 10 points and nine rebounds.

‘‘We really struggled to score inside and BC’s defense was the major reason for that,’’ Fordham coach Jeff Neubauer said. ‘‘We had a couple of bad possessions offensively down the stretch and BC attacked the rim and got layups. I thought we played well enough defensively to win.’’

Dennis Clifford, the Eagles’ 7-foot center, had 5 points and nine rebounds in a foul-plagued 20 minutes.

‘‘This was a game you had to win in the paint and we did,’’ Christian said.

BC was 3 for 18 from 3-point range while the Rams made 8 of 24. The difference came in the paint where the Eagles finished with a 28-14 advantage.

‘‘Defensively we’re ready to compete with teams on this level,’’ Neubauer said. ‘‘I have to get things right on the offensive end.’’
