CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- The 2018-19 Boston College men's basketball preseason provided the Eagles with long dormant feelings of enthusiasm and optimism. The team enters this year on the heels its first postseason berth in almost a decade and there's a general feeling of its springboard potential. Nearly every major piece from last season returned, and the arrival of a bumper crop of freshman talent has hopes surging entering Tuesday's opening night game against Milwaukee.
But there's still that one topic hanging over tonight's game. Last year felt at times like a dream coming true and the realization of BC's basketball potential, but it also represented a bittersweet end of the Jerome Robinson era.
