Another March Sadness for Boston College

It was another disappointing year for the boys of BC, as they failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament and the NIT.  The Eagles were at the bottom of the ACC with a horrible overall record of 9-22. Our beloved BC hasn’t qualified for the big dance since the 2009 season, when they were a [...]

What A Week It Was: March Madness, Rounds 1-2

Locally, the NCAA tournament is always an afterthought. There is some talk on the local radio and television shows about the upsets that happen, but for the most part, without a local team in the “Big Dance” and a lack of local college basketball knowledge amongst the media, it’s no surprise discussion is almost non-existent. [...]

They’re set up to face UConn in the second round. While it will be an interesting game, it shouldn’t be too difficult for them. In [...]

Harvard Makes First NCAA Tourney Since 1946

While the buzz of “Linsanity” has died down considerably in the past weeks, there is still reason to talk about Harvard basketball. The Crimson men’s basketball team is going to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1946 after winning the first outright Ivy League championship in school history. The tournament appearance comes just [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 18): UNC Proves Superiority Over Duke

1. Kentucky (63) I have trouble seeing them lose another game this season. 2. Syracuse (2) The Orange have a #1 seed locked up, and are 30-1. They’ve proven to be the class of the Big East. Given the grueling nature of the conference tournament though, there is a very reasonable possibility that they could [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 – Week 17

1. Kentucky (63) The Wildcats are 28-1. Their only loss was on the road against the #18 team in the country. All of their starters could be taken in the first round of the NBA draft. What more is there to say? 2. Syracuse (2) I would like to know which two writers keep voting [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 – Week 16

1. Kentucky (63) Bold prediction of the week: the Wildcats will get a #1 seed. 2. Syracuse (2) Record-wise, the Orange have kept pace with the Wildcats. They’ve navigated a tough schedule and have a number of ways to beat you. With that said, a number of their games are very close. It’s good that [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 – Week 15

1. Kentucky (63) The Wildcats toyed with #14 Florida last week, but it was never a contest. They didn’t seem particularly challenged, pulling away at the beginning of the second half. The only doubts that remain with them are whether their inexperience will cause them to seize up in an important game. No one can [...]

Arnold’s OT Winner Lifts Eagles to 3-2 Beanpot Win

With 6.4 seconds remaining in the extra session, Boston College (19-10-1) sophomore forward Bill Arnold roofed a shot from the right slot, beating Boston University (17-10-1) senior goaltender Kieran Millan for a dramatic 3-2 overtime win in the 60th installment of the Beanpot at the TD Garden in Boston, Mass. The game was brilliantly played [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 – Week 14

1. Kentucky (63) I would be remiss if I did not mention UK’s obliteration of #8 Florida last night. They are just amazing. Almost too much talent, if that’s possible. Last week Anthony Davis averaged 7.5 blocks per game. Blocks! That’s absurd. Chad Ford has four of the team’s starters ranked in the top 30 [...]

Boston University, Boston College Advance to Beanpot Final

The Boston University Terriers (17-8-1) and Boston College Eagles (17-10-1) each advanced to next Monday’s Beanpot final, dispatching the Harvard Crimson (7-7-9) and Northeastern Huskies (11-12-3) respectively at the TD Garden in Boston, Mass.

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 13): Murray State Continues to Impress

1. Kentucky (63) Last week was another easy walk through the SEC for the Wildcats. This is the time of the season when malaise sets in though, so watch out for the upset. 2. Syracuse (2) The Orange won both of their games last week, but the absence of Fab Melo was evident. Unresolved academic [...]
