Seniors Lead Climb Up ACC Ladder And Into Tourney Contention

Boston College wasn't anywhere near the college basketball radar when the ACC released its 2019-2020 season prediction. Both the conference coaches' poll and a blue ribbon panel slotted the Eagles into the 13th spot of the 15-team league, and players from the powerhouse programs littered the Preseason All-ACC Team. Nobody expected much from the Eagles, who hadn't made the NCAA Tournament since the 2005-06 and were very much still considered a developing, youthful program.

BC pushed past Miami, 75-64, on Sunday afternoon for its fifth consecutive ACC victory and 10th win on the year. It pushed the Eagles into a tie for fourth place with Florida State after the weekend results all went final and gave the Eagles a definitive track to a double-bye in the ACC Tournament for the first time in program history.
