Boston College closed out its regular season slate with a loss to Georgia Tech, giving the Eagles a 15-16 overall record with a 9-11 mark in the ACC. Let’s take a look at BC in Year Two of Earl Grant’s tenure.
When I sat down to write this column, my first reaction to the Eagles’ season was how similar it was to last year’s. Disappointing early losses, head-scratching inconsistency, commitment to Earl Grant’s philosophy and eventually, by year’s end, a completely different and improved team than from the beginning of the season. Ironically – BC finished last year on a high note while making a mini-run in the ACC Tournament and defeating tournament hopefuls Wake Forest.
