I’ll be happy to see BC ditch Miami basketball as a permanent scheduling partner. These games do nothing for attendance. BC and Miami are two of the worst in the ACC in terms of attendance.
Give me a second game against Syracuse and Pittsburgh over Miami and Virginia Tech any day.
Editor, BC Interruption
Not if we are going to be a top 4 team in the ACC in a few years … / Cory Alexander’d
Editor, BC Interruption
Two games against Syracuse and Pitt would certainly help attendance. Can’t get much worse anyway.
Editor, BC Interruption
Miami hoops is a terrible draw. No one cares about Miami basketball in Coral Gables, let alone Boston.
Editor, BC Interruption
this looks like a high school game
can’t really blame no one for caring
Winning 13 consecutive games, then losing 5 of last 7 also doesn’t help cultivate any sort of rivalry.

Green Pukes
Let them chuck form the outside, but get a hand in their face.
I wanna see BC run the offense through Clifford every set and have him pass it out if he is not open and set him down low in the lane.
The guy is freaking huge!
Crash those boards!
This is Miami.
cliffords had like 4 minutes of playing time
I know he’s been sloppy today but we need to give him time to work into his game
It looks like it's coming back.

Harvard should beat out BC for every hoops recruit, based on superior academics and the fact that they have ran us out of Conte each of the last four times. /osprey’d

“You just have to understand and trust us that this BC student basketball attendance is headed in the right way.”
Editor, BC Interruption
its unbelieveable
9,000 undergrad body and there might be 100 students at this game
It’s not even nerdification or more studying. Look at the hockey games.
Student body isn’t going to support a losing program. End of story.
Editor, BC Interruption
Hockey also has a 10x better student seating section. The seats under the basket are lame and having the two sections separated isn’t helping either.
Editor, BC Interruption
If we wanted to do it right, we’d figure out a way to take a section of the maroon seats in the lower bowl and carve out a student section that spans the seats and a portion of the ice rink.
But that would mean eliminating some DBS, which isn’t happening.
Editor, BC Interruption
Been saying that we should have the students be on the sidelines on the TV side like Duke.
Will never happen though.
Considering the fact that breakfast is served until 2:30….

Since ACC play has started, Moton has upped his game.

I don’t hate Moton. There are plenty of other kids coming off the bench that should get fewer minutes.
Editor, BC Interruption
no heckmann
are we giving up on him or are his injuries getting worse… don put in about everyone else and their mother that half
We also don’t limit Humphrey for having a FG% that hovers around the Mendoza line.
Editor, BC Interruption
He’s improved his shooting % and decision making over the course of the season.
Heckmann hasn’t improved his TOs. It’s actually gotten worse.
Humphrey improving his FG% over the year is a highly questionable claim. Think it’s been more up and down more than anything.
Shot 25% last game iirc.
Editor, BC Interruption
true
to be honest daniels is the only person I wanna see put the ball on the floor
I’m rather impressed with our freshmen. It’s not easy to go from the West Coast to the East Coast, or from across the Atlantic, and adjust to freshmen year. Add playing on the major sport, and it can be difficult.

I actually prefer games on the ACC Network over ESPNU / ESPN3, since YES now picks up ACC games and its in HD.
Editor, BC Interruption
I only have espn 3. Though sometimes I’ll get the rare ACC game on an off-shoot cable channel

I have DirecTV and the Sports Pack. No ESPN3. ESPNU non-HD.
Get NESN, YES, CBS Sports Net, etc. for the rare televised BC hockey game.
Editor, BC Interruption
It looks like the crowd filled in a little more behind the baskets. Students hung over? Late start?

The last five minutes of BC basketball games should be called Murphy’s Law Time. If we’re not up by twenty, then we should be sweating.

I still have plenty of optimism for the future. The fact we’re competing right now, with the number of freshmen and sophomores we have playing, Donahue’s system is going to be deadly.

less than i had after the uva game though
that was a good team that ran away from us on the road… this is a bad team that ran away from us at home
Miami has not missed a shot in the last five minutes. Everything they have shot has gone in…
