The 11 am start is great, setting up one of the best sports days for Boston College fans in quite some time. BC fans can go to campus early in the day to catch the NIT game against Northwestern, go to the bars and watch a full day of NCAA Tournament Second Third Round action, then head to the Garden to (hopefully) watch the men's hockey team hoist yet another Lamoriello Trophy.
Go Eagles!
