Does anyone know much about them?
They pretty much laid the wood to SDS but thats not saying a whole lot.

Everything I've found on them leads me to think they're a pretty average team.

Yes? No?

Re: Bc

BC was picked by the media to finish 9th in the ACC. They are 3-1 with their one loss being to St. Joe's.

Re: Bc

BC is located in the Greater Boston Area...

That's all I got, other than the fact this is a MUST win for us early in the season...

Re: Bc

BC has 4 starters back from a team that won 22 games last year and went to the NCAA tournament.

However, the one starter lost was by far their best player, Tyrese Rice. He averaged 16.9 a game last year.

Coming into the season, BC probably looked like an NIT team that could potentially push for an NCAA bid. The loss to St. Joes was a disappointing one for them, and they might see this game as a must win as well.

Re: Bc

a terrible iowa team should have beaten BC on the road last year. they missed two free throws with no time on the clock.

Re: Bc

If I remember correctly, BC can be a sort of bipolar team. Last year they beat UNC in their first ACC game, then lost to Harvard. I know the loss of Rice is huge for them but I'm not sure of who they return. I know they will be more athletic than us but are we the better "team"? I sure hope so tomorrow and will be cheering my hardest for the guys.

Re: Bc

What do we need to know about Boston College?

They are a decent ACC team. Which means they will probably be good enough to knock off one of the top ACC teams at some point during the season and will certainly benefit from the overall strength of the ACC. They will likely stay in the top 125 of the RPI even if they hover around .500 because of that. While we will have opportunities for top-125 wins in the Valley, none will carry as much weight with national pundits as a win over an ACC team.

This game is still a chance to get a quality win out of this tournament. I am hoping to see this team start to focus a little more on what it needs to do to be successful and takes care of business this afternoon. We need to get some things clicking so that we can come back in a groove for the next couple of weeks of games within the state.

Re: Bc

Bc looked athletic against SDSU, heading to the game later; I think this will be a close one for us

"Could have" would certainly be more accurate. The Hawks were down 2 at the time, and missed the front end of a 1 and 1. If Brommer had made both the game would have gone to OT.

Re: Bc

you are correct, they were down 2, but it was not a 1-and-1. he was fouled while throwing up a shot that had no prayer of going in so they were probably lucky to even be in that situation.

not to mention that brommer was on the court which should really never happen at any level of basketball.

Re: Bc

I was just on espn's website and a couple of people from BC posted this

"what the deal with the low spread...what am i missing? BC (-2.5) looks like free money"

"BC by 20 again"

This says it was a 1 and 1, and the box score says Brommer was 0-1 from the free throw line.

For 8 bucks you can purchase the game online here.

I did this on Friday, and it wasn't too bad. UNI radio coverage and decent video. I'll probably buy it again.
