Basketball has that same familiar feeling when the calendar changes from February to March. It's the same bundle of nerves that create the same anxiety. It's an excitement and drama - a madness - completely untouched by any other sport. It's a mentality that becomes an annual tradition capable of ending seasons in a heartbeat, even as it creates legends in the same split second.
This week, the ACC Tournament kicks off in Greensboro, North Carolina. For Boston College, it starts on with a rematch against the Virginia Cavaliers in the conference tournament's first round.
"All basketball coaches, players, anyone who loves sports - March is what you live for," BC head coach Joanna Bernabei-McNamee said.
