Boston College Eagles (15-14, 6-9 ACC) at N.C. State Wolfpack (16-14, 4-11 ACC)
Time: 2:00 EST
Date: Sunday, Mar. 7, 2010

Last Meeting at RBC Center: N.C. State 74, Boston College 69 (Mar. 4, 2009)
Trends: BC is 1-6 on the road in the ACC this season. N.C. State has lost their regular season finale in each of the last 5 seasons. The Wolfpack is just 5-10 in their last 15 games.

Finally, after a roller coaster season, we've reached the end of the line - BC and NC State in the regular season finale. This game is for little more than bragging rights and momentum going into the ACC Tournament, as both the Eagles and the Wolfpack are locked into the number 8 and 11 seeds, respectively.

BC dunk of the year?
Reggie Jackson on Miami’s Reggie Johnson …
They just showed it again on the Raycom video montage lead-in.

Good start for the Eagles
2 minutes and change in. NC State can’t get anything going offensively. 6-0 BC.

Despite all the empty seats
This might be the largest crowd BC has played in front of all season, right?
I think the only arena in the ACC that is bigger is the Dean Dome, so … yes?

Wake’s arena holds 14K. Might have been the Wake game.

We've played in front of 10,000+ four times this season
Providence, Michigan, Clemson, Wake.
But all were less than 11,000
Attendance at the Wake game was 10,832. Providence game was. 10,782. Michigan game .. 10,718.

NC State has gotten 14,000+
for every ACC home game. So today might be lower than 14,000 for them but still enough to be the biggest crowd BC has played in front of.
BC-Duke at Greensboro Coliseum will be the biggest crowd of the year.

Huge dunk by Trapani in transition. I didn’t know he could get up that high!
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
BC should be up by more than 4 at this point
Two BS offensive calls on Reggie Jackson. WTH.

Big block by Rakim. It is a disaster/adventure every time BC feeds it down low to Southern.

Bad 3PA by Trapani
There, I said it. Skinner needs a timeout here. 12-10 NC State.

Is BC the worst team in the ACC at stopping opposing team's runs?
This is what I’m thinking right now.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Game of runs so far
BC starts 10-4
NC St goes 14-2
BC goes 8-0
Getting us to our current 20-18 BC lead
14-2 NC State run and Skinner called how many timeouts? 0? 1?

NC State women gonna fall to Duke in the ACC Championship
I think N.C. State is the only program to not have won an ACC Championship in any sport since BC joined the conference.

Not so much from Sanders. Another game in which he just seems off. 1-of-4 shooting.

Ugly first half
NC State 24-23. Lowest scoring first half of the season?
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Reggie hardly played because of 2 fouls
We’re down 1 at half but I’m not too worried. I think Skinner sat Trapani longer than he normally would have also if the game had more meaning.
Reggie picked up both fouls on the offensive end of the floor. Both very questionable calls in my opinion.

I generally dislike Vasquez as a player, but you have to tip your hat to him this year.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
I don’t think that foul was intentional on Southern though.

Bad sequence from Roche
Gets his own rebound from his 3 attempt and throws up another brick.
BC 0-for-9 from 3 point range.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
With Gonzalez on the bench, BC can really key in on Tracy Smith. He’s their entire offense.
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Disgusted at how bad the N.C. State player defending Reggie’s flop was. That’s why he’s had two offensive fouls called against him?
BC Interruption, a Boston College sports blog
Yep. Will probably be the difference in this game.

Corey Raji out with a shoulder injury?
Hope he’s ready to go for Virginia.

Skinner animated after the Rakim dunk
You would think this game actually counts for something.

Points off turnovers
NC State 17, BC 8. Ouch.

I might be more disappointed in this team right now ...
Than at any other point in the season. Nevermind the losses to Maine, Harvard, Saint Joseph’s and URI.

I want the $20 I just spent at Buffalo Wild Wings and the 2 hours of my life back.

But then you’d wind up live blogging with yourself. Never fun.

What happened?
I’m with you. I don’t know if it really means anything for ACCT but still very discouraging.
16-16
And this team solidifies it’s place as the second worse BC team of the decade.
