NESN is covering BC-Red Sox on Wednesday
Game will be televised on NESN starting at 6pm ET. Pretty cool that the game is being televised. Good exposure for the program.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
That will probably be blacked out too …
“This program is not available in your area.” FAIL.

Georgia Tech 12-7
Not a great start for the Eagles … 15:27 to play in the first.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Not off to that hot start we had hoped for ...
BC shooting 6-of-21 from the floor … 1-of-6 from beyond the arc.
Yikes.

Gt playing nasty D
Very bad mid-stretch for the Eagles

Yeah. Not looking good. Favors is a freak of nature.

This matchup...
Is similar to Wake, hopefully it doesn’t end the same way… We need to hit our FT’s…

This could get out of hand quickly. Saved by the traveling call on GT.

Jackson's first points of the night
On the runner. Need to get him more active in the offense.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Back-to-back buckets for Jackson. Great play by Trapani to save the ball.
Cuts the lead to 6. I’ll take it.

GT playing sloppy enough
That BC can easily get back in this. Need to hit some shots though
by Jeff Martyn on Feb 27, 2010 12:43 PM EST via mobile reply actions
We’ve been terrible from the floor and GT has been knocking down everything. Hopefully, this can’t last.

Three turnovers for Jackson
Solid D from Georgia Tech.

Indeed.

Damn
Second heave by Jackson, not having a very good game overall
by Jiftastic on Feb 27, 2010 12:49 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Yeah. Has done some good (3 assists) and some not so good (3 turnovers) this half.

Tough way to end the half
GT 37-30.
Shumpert with 8. Another Shumpert killing BC …
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Apparently, Preston Shumpert (Syracuse 1998-2002) isn’t related to Iman Shumpert. I kinda thought they would be.

Matt Ryan interview at half
Sounds like he’s developing a bit of a Southern twang living in the ATL. Don’t go to the darkside, Matt!
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
First time ever the Falcons have had back-to-back winning seasons? Damn.

I am listening to radio. DirecTV blacked this game out in my market. After the game, I’m calling to threaten dropping the extra sports package. What exactly am I paying for??

The half could've ended so much different
Things like getting the ball in underneath the basket is a sign of being the less athletic team on today. A run in the ACC tournament might very well depend on matchups even though we are very capable of beating Georgia Tech and I have hope for a much better second half
I think we’ll be better in the second half. I think, anyway …
Jackson was off in the first half, and we didn’t get anything from Rakim either.

I’m watching the NFL Combine on mute and listening to the game. Matt Tennant had the 8th best 40 time for O-Linemen. 5.18 I think.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Please get Southern out of there
Gets shot blocked, GT scores on the other end. 4 point swing.

Rice
Is ironiqly playing very well…even more he’s Rice jr hah

The radio guys are giving Matty Ice a tongue bath
“Oh my god … he’s played Augusta National twice!”

Brian
Where do you live? This game is on like…5 different stations for DirecTV
by Jiftastic on Feb 27, 2010 1:18 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Ohhh
Well I’m in FL and I have it for fscarolina…that might work
by Jiftastic on Feb 27, 2010 1:21 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
I think they only show it in ACC markets. I’m going to call after the game.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
I can see all 5-6 listings on the DirecTV guide. That’s what makes it even more frustrating.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Every time we look like we can get back in it
GT hits a 3
by Jiftastic on Feb 27, 2010 1:25 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Huge posession
Need to get something going now
by Jiftastic on Feb 27, 2010 1:26 PM EST via mobile reply actions
BC can expect to win exactly 0 games if Rakim Sanders doesn’t get involved in the scoring.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Yeah
Sanders keeps trying to drive into the hoop and it leaves Teapani open for 3, he needs to pass it to Trapani in that situation and not be as selfish
by Jiftastic on Feb 27, 2010 1:28 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Sounds like Sanders is pressing to get involved in the offense.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Radio talking about Jared Dudley
He has 12 points last night against the Clippers. Craig Smith had 16 points. BC well represented last night.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Charge on Trapani?
Sounded like a questionable call on radio. Was it a charge?
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
On radio, sounded like the defender was too close to the hoop. Whatever.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Same on radio. Obviously they are pro BC on radio. Sounds like a bad call all-around. Huge momentum changer too.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Ehhhh
He kinda knee’d him in the face on the dunk haha
by Jiftastic on Feb 27, 2010 1:33 PM EST via mobile reply actions
What are you guys seeing from Rakim?
What. Is. Going. On?
0 points … 3 turnovers … 2 fouls.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Radio guys talking about how Favors can’t guard Trapani. Oooo … burn!
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
I was listening to the GT radio feed in the car early on
The guy on the radio said “Rakim Sanders takes it 1 on the building” when Sanders didn’t have numbers and tried to score but GT tied him up
At this point ...
I’m just hoping BC keeps it close and GT doesn’t win by 20, like the From the Rumble Seat boys predicted.

Roche
Looks like a jungle cat shooting haha
by Jiftastic on Feb 27, 2010 1:41 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Elmore
Just single handedly ruined our momentum
by Jiftastic on Feb 27, 2010 1:44 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I'll have to ask BCRaj ...
Perhaps Sanders playing with the flu again?
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Idk
All I know is he somehow gets open at the last second and drains the shot
by Jiftastic on Feb 27, 2010 1:48 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
He’s shooting 71% from the floor. 10-14 and 4-6 from 3 point range. Jesus.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Trapani with 21 points
Lone bright spot in this game. 5 3’s.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Radio talking about last home game this Wednesday ...
It’s Senior Night, but tips at 9 PM ET. No respect for Roche. BC will be lucky if they draw 5k.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Check that. 5k is ambitious. Official attendance for last Wednesday’s home game against VT was 4,632. And that was a 7 PM start.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Despite how bad BC's played ...
Still a 3 possession game.

Big game against UVA
Assuming they lose to Duke, the winner of that game gets out of the bottom 4
by Jiftastic on Feb 27, 2010 1:55 PM EST via mobile reply actions
At this point, it might be advantageous to be IN the bottom 4. Since #8 vs. #9 will most likely get Duke.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
BMW of Peabody Player of the Game
Joe Trapani with 23 points.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Sanders has played 4 minutes in the second half
That’s the difference in this game. Don’t get Sanders involved … you have no shot at winning.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Thanks for stopping by. This team constantly toys with our emotions.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Final score not indicative of how BC played for most of the game
BC could’ve played a lot better today. But we’ve said that plenty of times before this season.
Agreed
Another game we couldn’t fully play to what we shouldve, well let’s hope we beat UVA wednesday
by Jiftastic on Feb 27, 2010 2:02 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
A win over UVA would be nice, but win or lose, we may very well end up in the #8 vs. #9 game playing UVA in the ACC Tournament anyway.
I’ll be interested to see what happens in the ACC the rest of the day.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Sanders played, what, 4 minutes in the second half?
Sounded like Skinner benched him after he struggled in the first half.
Only the second time in his career he’s failed to score a point (the other game was against Saint Joseph’s when he went out with the ankle injury).
