The March winless streak is over.
The Boston College men’s basketball team hadn’t won a game in March since 2018, when the Jerome Robinson/Ky Bowman Eagles won a pair of games to advance to the ACC quarterfinal.
Since that time, BC had lost every game they played in in the month of March - not just in the ACC tournament, but even in the regular season.
That ended this afternoon, as the #13-seed Eagles demolished #12-seed Pitt 66-46 in the first round of the ACC tournament at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.
The victory extends the Eagles’ season, and puts a feather in the cap of head coach Earl Grant, whose year one accomplishments, while modest, have beaten what most people would have expected from this year’s team.
