If you hadn’t heard it before or had been locked away in a dark cave, ESPN’s Anish Shroff made sure you knew. The Boston College basketball team had gone 644 days without an ACC regular season victory and nearly as long without an ACC win of any sort, the last coming in the opening round of the 2015 tournament when the Eagles knocked off Georgia Tech, 66-65.
The streak has ended..emphatically.
No, I wouldn’t start looking at Bracketology and figuring out who the Eagles might draw in the NCAA tournament just yet. That would be pretty presumptuous, but for the first time in quite sometime, there is and rightly should be, a level of optimism with the program following BC’s 96-81 win over Syracuse at Conte yesterday afternoon.
