CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- At a surface level, Earl Grant's first season at Boston College didn't offer much more than what some people expected out of the Eagles. A sub-.500 finish for the fourth consecutive year produced more losses than wins for the 10th time in the past 11 seasons, and the near-lock of the team into the bottom six of the league came to fruition when it played on the first day of the ACC's postseason tournament. Nobody had BC on its national tournament watch list, and a 12th straight NCAA Tournament completed without participation from Massachusetts' true basketball flagship.
