The 2000s were a special time for Boston College women's basketball. The program made seven national tournaments over an eight-year span and transformed into one of the sport's most elite contenders. It became a beacon of the Big East, which was the country's best basketball conference, and reached a zenith in 2004 when the Eagles won the conference tournament crown.
The exploits transformed BC into a national powerhouse, and back-to-back berths in the Sweet Sixteen gave the program a road paved directly into the ACC. That's where it all continued, with two more national tournaments and a third Sweet Sixteen in 2006.
