I'm sorry but I don't think this tells the whole story here, and I'm not sure why we're starting from the beginning of February.

We lost 3 out of our last 6 games of the regular season including a loss to a Minnesota team that had a losing record in the Big Ten and were basically dominated by Ohio State and Wisconsin at home. Neither game (OSU, Wiscy) was close and we lost to OSU by 9 and Wisconsin by 12 - at home to teams we were heavily favored to beat. Then we barely beat a Temple team who was basically just one player - Khalif Wyatt. Then we got curb stomped by Syracuse.

I read a book called Missing Banners by Tom Brew (interesting book, dude desperately needs a proofreader), and he talked to Elston about that team who admitted that something was off with the team at the end of the year.

Yea we lost to good teams. That Minnesota team was pretty good, the Big Ten was just that strong that year. That Minnesota team had Mbakwe, Williams and Hollins x2. So sure we lost 3 games, it definitely wasn't the ending we wanted, Cream definitely screwed up, but that team went through an absolute gauntlet at the end and in a Big Ten that makes this year look like the MAC.

Looks like Boston College is starting to fall apart.

Didn't even get a foul. Dad defended it postgame after seeing this video!

[IUc2016 7,121]

BC comes flying back after down 10.

66-66 tie at the under 4

[Stuhoo 90,756]

BC with a major comeback. From 10 down to tied with 3:30 to play.

Laravia has four fouls and Williams is cramping up for Wake.

It wasn't just the losses, it was the nature of the losses.  OSU, Wisconsin, and Syracuse were all not close games.  Just not what you would expect from a team that spent the most time at #1 that year.

It isn't. But that team was exhausted and you could tell. That OSU game they really didn't show up but I'm assuming OSU wasn't happy about us winning at their place. That Cuse game was just the perfect storm. Team was exhausted and hurt, Cuse was much bigger on the wings and we had a coach who couldn't run a zone offense. But that team didn't exactly crap the bed. It could have been way worse. Wish we had that team back. They would have ran through this Big Ten and we'd all be happy.

Terrible offense from both teams in the last minute.

Tied, but BC gets 5.2 seconds for a last shot.

[Hovadipo 61,906]

Oof. Don't like that charge call. (Do like what it may do for our tournament hopes)
