Boston College Eagles Basketball Fanatics

The flex doesn't work.  It's ugly watching our basketball team play half court offense and that's on you.

Losses to Harvard, Maine, and URI are unacceptable.

And the laid back attitude that you show for this mediocre team is also unacceptable.  You look like you don't care half the time.

We need some fire, some emotion, and players with heart - and BC has none of all 3.

PLEASE RESIGN.

If we can't drive to the basket and score on short jumpers or layups, if we don't maintain control of the ball, if we can't set up a play at half court without using up 15 seconds on the possession clock, if we can't try to draw a foul on the way to the basket, and if we won't press the opposition's ball carriers as they bring the offense up to the half court line, we are going to lose, and lose big in this conference this year. The lack of size and toughness is not helping us under both boards either. I'm glad I'm going to home games to watch college basketball first and rooting for eagles second. It's tough when half the fans in the building are rooting for the visiting team, and their half is making more noise in support of their team than we are for ours.

Here comes U.R.I. Hopefully our team is learning from each game, win or lose. The Rams are good competition as we get closer to the start of the intensity of  conference games after the first of the year. Getting our team 100 % healthy now should improve our performance going forward as well. We need to achieve better results inside the paint, and our foul shooting has got to be superlative, particurlarly in the second half.
Go Eagles ! The conference appears to be open to any number of teams. Hopefully, B.C. will be in the mix going forward.

 Congratulations on a great win against Miami. Hopefully over the course of the season the eagles will be able to maintain the lead in games in the second half, and not turn their games into nail biters. But a win is a win. Watch out for Harvard this Wednesday, as they gave Connecticut a pretty good showing. And we all know what happened last year after the big win against North Carolina. Rhode Island should be challenging next weekend too.

Still too early to judge how good this team will be; but the trends are favorable.

Against St. Michaels, Reggie Jackson scores 23, Cory Raji tosses in 19, and
Rakim Sanders follows with 13 in a 40+ pt. blowout, 99-58. Jackson's for real.

Cory Raji's 14 rebounds was a good sign, and Joe Trapani chipped in on the
boards as well.

Dartmouth promises to be a bit tougher, but I don't think the Eagles will fall
into any Harvard-style trap at this point. Look for them to win by at least 20.
Friday the thirteenth will be a lucky day for BC. It's Dartmouth's first game of
the year, and the Conte Forum crowd will be ready!
