BC: They’re Hot Then They’re Cold, They’re Yes Then They’re No

Boston College had its moment in the limelight when the Eagles beat then-top ranked North Carolina just a few days ago. However, the honeymoon is over, as they say. The Eagles, who were on the up-and-up, lost one to the Harvard Crimson last night 82-70.

According to the AP article on the game, Harvard coach Tommy Amaker had this to say: ”Obviously it’s a special night for us and for our basketball program. To be able to come across town and play against an outstanding basketball team, especially after what they experienced in their previous game.”

The Boston College Eagles and the Harvard Crimson are cross-town rivals, which might have had something to do with their beating of the Eagles. You always get your game face extra stern looking when you play the boys next door. Add that in with the fact that the BC team was probably feeling pretty confident after upsetting UNC, and you have yourself the perfect upset scenario.
