BUZZER BEATER — Is it possible that Boston College is good? Or at least kind of good?
The Eagles have been ACC plankton for so long, it’s hard to picture. But after beating then-No. 1 Duke, they nearly won at Virginia Saturday. Their only losses are to Texas Tech, Providence and Nebraska, and they’ve avoided their toe-stubs against the likes of Hartford, Sacred Heart and UMass-Lowell that have pockmarked their last two seasons.
Good stuff. Worthy of a Red Smith Award, imho.
