Ho ho ho.
Sandwiched around Christmas Eve and Christmas Day - the men’s basketball game vs. Providence on December 23, and the Quick Lane Bowl on December 26 - two of Boston College’s marquee sports programs delivered a year-end gift. The way the two games played out seemed to give a morale boost to all but the most jaded Eagles fans, and gives hope that 2017 will be better.
2016 was, as we know, for the most part not a particularly good year for Boston College football and men’s basketball.
The hoops team capped off BC’s historically futile ACC stretch back in March, ending the conference season winless.
