CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- It's been a minute, hasn't it?
Eight days ago, Boston College celebrated its hardwood heroes for their grit and toughness. The Eagles had walked off their Conte Forum home court to celebrate with their fans, a group affectionately known as "The Sickos," after beating Notre Dame, 73-57, to improve to 6-3. The first official ACC game of the season, the win moved BC into a tongue-in-cheek first place for the night while temporarily putting the Maroon and Gold into NCAA Tournament predictions that automatically slotted "league champions" from regular season standings.
