Providence, UMass, and Harvard a combined 9-0

BC 1-3, and listed attendance for their last game was 1,653

Needless to say, Conte Forum will be looking pretty Orange come January 13th

Was at the BC/UNC game last year in Boston, honestly 40% of the crowd was UNC fans with a campus some 700 miles away.
 
So because BC lost the first game of the season on the road in overtime against Providence that makes PC better than BC?

When I was at BC I went to 0 basketball games except 1 against Duke in 2008 or 2009. Syracuse will have a lot of fans at the game in January the 9pm on a Monday will hurt non-local SU alums, but we will pack the Conte Forum.

UConn is good this year, but I will be interested to see BC-UConn at MSG this Thursday. BC seems like a team that plays to the level of their competition and will have What losses, but will beat some good teams as well.

They're talented, but they've yet to really put it together and defense has been atrocious thus far. For BC alums like my dad, it's been unbearable of late. And considering PC was missing it's starting PG and SF, I'd say yes.

I think BC is a better team than are playing right now, and honestly for a team like them who isn't competing for a NC their objective is just get better by conference play. BC basketball is below hockey by a lot on that campus, and their talent will get better. If they beat UConn at MSG I won't say they are better than UConn.

PC-BC are similar and honestly HCA was probably the difference. If I had to bet which of Boston College or Providence is more likely to make the NCAA tournament I would say BC objectively. I think the ACC will give BC more chances for resume wins than Georgetown, Creighton, Marquette two times.

I do see where you're coming from, but I know most didn't expect this kind of start out of BC. Last year they did come on late.
