BC 85 - UNC 78 : Biggest Regular Season Win Ever For Eagles?

It does not get much bigger of better for fans of the Boston College Eagles basketball program...

...And we here in The 'Pent missed most of the last two minutes due to a technical glitch by New England Sports Network. Talk about incredibly bad timing by NESN.

But regardless of what we did or did not see on the television set here in Apartment 404, the BC Eagles may have just won themselves a spot in this week's national rankings with a 85 - 78 record and a win over top ranked and previously undefeated North Carolina.

Great games from both senior point guard Tyrese Rice with 25 points, who did not turn the ball over excessively and also hit some big free throws at the end, and junior forward Rakim Sanders with 7 rebounds and 22 points and who made what will be one of the most talked about plays of the entire college basketball season by blocking a breakaway by UNC guard Wayne Ellington deep into the second half that seemed to spark to BC to the win.

Al Skinner, coach of the Eagles is always underrated, as he rarely gets big name recruits and has a wonderful talent for getting the utmost out of his team's abilities each and every season. This year is no exception, and BC may knocking on the door of the ACC elite teams UNC, Duke, and Wake Forest with their 13-2 record.

Great win. Just wish we here in The 'Pent had seen the end of it.
