Well, folks, it looks like our chances of going dancing might be vanishing as quickly as my will to study for these finals. It’s not like we ever really had a super strong shot to make the tourney, but hey you can let a girl dream. Unfortunately, I think this week sealed the deal as the Eagles have managed to lose three games in a row. On the bright side, they don’t have to worry about maintaining an undefeated record.
But to turn this season around BC really needs to improve, which shouldn’t be too difficult after the game against South Carolina where the team only scored two three-pointers. At least they’re setting the bar low. There are some things the Eagles can look forward to, you know, like playing Duke on their home court. Oh, wait… never mind. Or traveling to North Carolina in January. Yeah…no. Ok, so maybe for now we should just look forward to Christmas break.

The BC Eagles won the Cayman Islands Classic last week which probably received even less media coverage than the National Dog Show. It’s understandable there were a few things slightly more exciting to talk about, you know like Wicked, Black Friday deals and of course a national holiday. I guess the only way for the Eagles to break into the news is if they go dancing. By that I mean March Madness…not on TikTok, they already do that.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the Eagles will be making the tourney any time soon, as they just suffered one of the biggest upsets of the year. Yeah, it doesn’t get much worse than losing to a team nicknamed the Big Green. Well, actually, it could. If the Eagles manage to lose to South Carolina this Tuesday they’ll also be victims to a rooster.

As of Sunday afternoon the BC Eagles are 3-1 which really isn’t bad, well, until they play real teams. I like to be optimistic, but we’ve got to be realistic when it comes to conference play.
If BC pulls off a win against Duke in January I promise I’ll buy the entire team free dinner, well with my dining dollars. Actually, no, that's too extreme. Perhaps I’ll just have the BC logo painted on my head. No…too far. Wait, I've got it! I’ll just dye my hair maroon and gold. Perfect.
Now this week Boston College is entering the Cayman Islands Classic which seems a little odd to me. I don’t know about you, but when I hear “Cayman Islands” it’s typically about their nefarious business practices. Well, actually it makes sense why BC is playing there now. It was probably the only tournament they could afford.

On Friday, the Eagles won a nail-biter against Temple, advancing to a 2-1 record. Luckily, I had a court side seat, which I now realize is not nearly as impressive considering the game was only streamed on ACCNX, where all the 40-year-old single men gather. But hey, I got featured on the Jumbotron, so it’s a win for me!
Elijah Strong was certainly the star of Friday’s game, even screaming at the crowd after each of his shots. That’s cool, well, except when he would miss. I have to admit it’s a little difficult to watch someone celebrate when they fumble a layup. But honestly, I aspire to have Strong’s complete shamelessness. Maybe the next time I get a question wrong in class I’ll just do a cartwheel.

Boston College surprisingly won its season opener against The Citadel last Monday, but unfortunately, student attendance was essentially non-existent. Why? Hmm… maybe because the game was on a Monday night. Or because we played against a knockoff military school. Yeah, you know the season will be rough when even the real Army doesn’t want to play us.
Regardless, the Eagles hope to get back in the win column after a treacherous loss to VCU in which they committed seventeen turnovers. C’mon guys, all you have to do is hold onto the basketball. Yes, I’m nearly positive that’s it, well, and score.
