BC Closes Out The Game In The Final Minutes Over No. 15 FSU

Wednesday night's basketball game against No. 15 Florida State not only gave the Boston College faithful something to talk about—it gave them something to nearly storm the court about. The Eagles' 64-60 victory over the Seminoles was one of the more improbable victories of the ACC season thus far.

The Boston College women's basketball team fell to 0-10 in conference play yesterday afternoon against Wake Forest, but there were plenty of positives for this young Eagles' squad even in the loss. BC lost 73-60 to the Demon Deacons, but the game was a lot closer in the final minutes than the score suggests.

Signs Of Progress Show In Tough Loss

A little bit at a time, these Eagles are getting closer to playing a complete basketball game. The men's basketball team fell to the North Carolina State Wolfpack 56-51 at Conte Forum last night, but they avoided the epic collapse that has haunted them at the end of games lately. Although the improvement came in a loss, head coach Steve Donahue was pleased with his team's effort, especially after being blown out at NC State earlier in the season.

The Boston College men's basketball team's home loss against Miami yesterday was deflating and disappointing, but lost in the final score were a few bright spots for the Eagles. It would be unfair to ignore the fact that this team played some inspiring basketball up until the seven-minute mark in the second half, showing signs of the type of play necessary to get wins in the ACC.

In its game against Miami yesterday afternoon at Conte Forum, the key stat for the young Boston College Eagles was size, or rather, their lack of it. It was evident from a quick glance at the court during warm-ups that the Eagles were going to be physically overmatched throughout the game, and that proved to be the case as the Hurricanes dismantled BC in the final seven minutes, coming away with the 76-54 win.

1. How will the offense look under Martin?

With a new offensive coordinator in Doug Martin, the 2012 Boston College football team is likely to have a new-look offense come September. For much of the season in 2011, the Eagles struggled to score touchdowns, but Martin brings with him a history of implementing an explosive air attack with his past teams. If Martin can get Chase Rettig to buy into his playbook, the results could be impressive. Aside from the passing game, BC has four talented options at the running back spot, and Martin will look to find a way to utilize them all by playing to their strengths. Whether it is Montel Harris and Tahj Kimble using their speed, or Andre Williams and Deuce Finch using their power, Martin will have plenty of viable options to complement the air attack.
