Men: March To Madness

Boston (Un)Common


After Tuesday night’s results, the undisputed leader of the ACC race is ... Boston College?

Yes, Coach Al Skinner’s Eagles are doing it to us again.

BC has been the Tobacco Road outsider since joining the ACC for the 2005-06 season. But really, that’s only the perception. The Eagles have played like they belonged—from the opening tip.

The Eagles (12-4, 3-0 ACC) downed the Miami Hurricanes 76-66 on Tuesday night. And it’s a Miami team (14-2) we will hear from again. BC, though, is the story. Since joining the ACC, the Eagles are 24-11 in conference regular-season play. This season, BC’s roster includes five freshmen and five sophomores.

In all likelihood, BC is “renting’’ first place in the ACC. North Carolina has enough talent to run the table in the league. But big things were expected from the Tar Heels. Not so from the Eagles, making for another amazing story that may continue to unfold in Boston.
