CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Last week's 91-65 loss to North Carolina was an example of a different kind of adversity for Earl Grant in his first season as Boston College head coach. His Eagles failed to impose their own style and pace over the large bulk of 40 minutes against the Tar Heels. After Carolina shook off its rust, missing the first seven shots from the floor, UNC's straightened-out offense blew the doors open on Conte Forum. A 29-point lead reached into the 30's after halftime, and despite a much more efficient second half for BC, rust was evident on an Eagles' squad that hadn't played a game in almost a full month.
