The #20 BC men's basketball team is now 16-4 on the season, 3-3 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, after a big 81-74 road win at the Dean Smith Center against defending national champion North Carolina. The Eagles built up a 12 point halftime lead which they never relinquished. The Tar Heels did manage to make the game close, but freshman guard Tyrese Rice had a couple of clutch baskets late in the second half as well as making a trap-splitting pass to Jared Dudley for the game-sealing bucket with 44.8 seconds left in the game. The win was #300 in the career of head coach Al Skinner.

The Eagles get a chance at revenge Sunday when they play host to Georgia Tech, who they lost to earlier this month.

The BC men's basketball team, #14 in this week's polls after a 66-64 win over Georgia Tech yesterday, faces its toughest test so far this season on Wednesday night when they host the #2 Duke Blue Devils at Conte Forum. The game is scheduled for a 9:00 PM start and will be carried by ESPN.

A tough loss for BC last night to Duke, 83-81, but the Eagles can be proud that they came back from being down 18 early in the 2nd half. The real story was the disparity at the free throw line: the Blue Devils went to the line 37 times to only 13 for the Eagles. The fact that BC had to play the closing minutes without both Craig Smith and Sean Marshall, both of whom fouled out, also didn't help matters.

The Eagles travel to Blacksburg, VA to play the Hokies of Virginia Tech on Saturday.

The BC men's basketball team, 19-5 and ranked #13 in the AP poll and #15 in the coaches' poll this week after wins @ Wake Forest and @ home vs. Clemson, conclude a 3 game homestand with a game tonight vs. Stony Brook (the final non-conference game of the season) and Thursday night vs. Miami. If you're thinking about who they could face in the NCAA tournament next month, I'd tell you where they are on Joe Lunardi's "Bracketology", but the page isn't displaying properly right now.

Also, it isn't Al Skinner's style to call attention to it, but he's on the verge of becoming the Eagles' all-time winningest coach.

Just thought I'd mention in passing that BU won the Beanpot college hockey tournament last night over BC, 3-2.

I've been having problems with my main hard disk, so I was forced to use the computer lab in the other building where I live today. I figured I may have only one good boot-up left, and I'm going to use that to try to get a clone of the disk onto a new one. Wish me well.

Well, I wound up having to reinstall everything, as the clone attempt crashed just as it was nearing the end. plain

The BC men's basketball team, ranked #11 in the media poll and #13 in the coaches' poll, had a blowout 72-58 loss @ Virginia Tuesday night, but bounced back today with a huge 74-72 double-overtime win @ #14 North Carolina State. The win today made Al Skinner BC's all-time winningest basketball coach with 169. The Eagles wrap up the regular season next week with games at home Tuesday v. Wake Forest and Saturday v. Virginia Tech.

With an 80-65 win last night over Wake Forest, the BC men's basketball team clinched a first-round bye in next week's Atlantic Coast Conference tournament in Greensboro, NC. With a win this Saturday at home against Virginia Tech and a split by North Carolina of their remaining two games (likely, as the Tar Heels' last regular season game is Saturday @ #1 Duke), BC will be tied for second in the conference and will get the #2 seed in the ACC tournament on a tiebreaker (having wins over both North Carolina and North Carolina St.), meaning they'll avoid playing Duke until next Sunday's championship game.

"Hurricane" Peter McNeeley, best known for losing to former heavyweight boxing champion "Iron" Mike Tyson in the latter's first fight after serving a prison sentence for rape, was arraigned in Dedham District Court this morning on charges that he punched a patron outside of the Shamrock Pub in Norwood last night and stole the patron's wallet, which contained $200. McNeeley pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The BC men's basketball team did its part the other day with a 59-57 win over Virginia Tech Saturday, but UNC pulled off the nearly unthinkable and upset the Blue Devils at Cameron Indoor Stadium. As a result, the Tar Heels get the #2 seed in the ACC tournament and BC has to settle for the #3 seed. The Eagles will play the winner of Thursday's opening round game between Maryland and Georgia Tech on Friday.
