The ACC/ESPN deal was a smart move if only to connect ACC fans on the west coast. ESPN3 is pretty much the lifeline to all BC sports out here. Except hockey.

Thoughts on Humphrey starting?
While he was inconsistent last week, he definitely produced.
by polarbearbrother on Jan 19, 2012 8:02 PM EST reply actions
i prefer him off the bench
but i’m okay with it… Heckmann is exactly mr. consistent either
I prefer Humphrey coming off the bench, but Heckmann has been battling a back issue, apparently.
Editor, BC Interruption
its crazy how quickly clifford's role has progressed
basically running the offense through him now
Wow.
NC State is running like a well oiled machine

Can someone do me a favor at post the score every so often?
I’ve got to go dark at 5:30

They are getting good shots
Just need to hit them…
Defensive Intensity
Loving the effort on defense
Cliche, and been said before, but this is a completely different team from the first half of the year. Like, night and day.
Editor, BC Interruption
at 7 feet tall
yea i’d say dangerous is an understatement
OK. Video's gone.
Going to try and check in every so often.

The Refs are letting them play
Probably to our detriment…
Heckmann needs to work on his ball handling
It’s always a steal waiting to happen.
Need to box out
Get some over the back calls…
They are just getting pushed underneath the basket.
This game is rather poopy.

i'll stick around for the second half
but only because i have work to do and procrastination is the only thing making this thing watchable
Georgia Tech scored just 17 points in the first half against Virginia. Yikes.

I can’t wait for the “In my years at Boston College” commercial with GDF….
“In my years at Boston College, I brought the athletics program from a gambling disaster to glory, back to a disaster. Now give us money”

You know how many winning seasons BC had in the 10 years prior to me getting here? Three … THREE!
Editor, BC Interruption
It also doesn’t take a rocket scientist to stop playing Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State every season and instead play Kent State, Central Michigan and Rhode Island …
Duh.
Editor, BC Interruption
BC shooting just 39% and 5-14 from three. Just not going to get it done tonight shooting like that.
Editor, BC Interruption
That’s unreal. All five N.C. State starters average more than 12 points a game.
Editor, BC Interruption
in general we lack ball control
i like how our points (moton/daniels) can take care of the ball but besides that i’m anxious anytime anyone else puts it on the floor
Just really poor shot selection tonight. Even the looks from up close look bad.
Editor, BC Interruption
9 Freshman!
Damn you Jags!!!
Raheem Morris got his due after jags told him to start Freeman and then he won kudos and then fell on his face.
Our basketball sucks becasue of Jags!
There. I am on the record.
N.C. State 51, Boston College 32
Great job by Clifford to draw the bucket and the foul.
Editor, BC Interruption
C.J. Leslie leaving the game. Probably won’t make much of a difference at this point.
Editor, BC Interruption
Moton with four fouls, and still in this. That’s dedication homes.

we're never going to be able to get back in these games
with all the turnovers we commit and that how we can’t get ANY rebounds
whats the worst
is that if we could have pulled out an upset here we probably would hvae been able to turn around some of our attendance woes and build some momentum
Honestly, I don’t think BC is going to turn around / improve attendance based on one game. The casual fan doesn’t know that N.C. State is actually good this year for a change.

History Channel SWAMP PEOPLE
I live too close to these guys shooting squirrels for meat and shooting gators.
These Louisiana c-asses are from another world.
We need to recruit in these low lying marshes and swamp bogs.
Just saying as I switched channels.
Love how every BC highlight in an ACC commercial is of Matt Ryan.
Haven’t exactly refreshed the highlight reel much these days, eh?

troy bell
