The Cocks weren't on their game today but neither was the AP

Postby BCEagles25 on Sat Jan 01, 2011 9:19 pm

Boston College (11-3) came South prepped for a sturdy test against a Southeastern Conference opponent. Instead, the Eagles' experienced lineup was no match for South Carolina (8-3), which started three freshman and a sophomore.


Am I reading this correctly? Also, SC is 8-4.

Suckfest.
I like BC basketball.

How can you expect the AP to concentrate on writing sports articles when they're too busy fawning over Obama on a daily basis? That's asking a lot c'mon.

Also, the phrasing there makes no sense. "No match" implies that SC was superior, at least the way it's typically used. All-around fail.

BC is a nice Cinderella team for March.

Reggie has been solid and the leader but Biko and Corey have really stepped up with the Coaching of Stevie D. WOW!!

I love this team and they run, box out, better efforts for rebounds and loose balls (fixed!), fight, press, trap, hustle, make the extra pass and get after it.

What a nice bunch of kids that are unselfish!

GO EAGLES!!

Not for nothin' guy, but we're 326th in rebounding. Now, we try to rebound. But we're still awful at it as a whole.

Everything else, yes.

True...but last year there was no effort to box out and go after the ball and loose balls.
