CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- It was the unthinkable moment at the worst possible time.
One day after beating Wake Forest in overtime, Boston College was once again in possession of the basketball at the end of an extra period. The darlings of the ACC Tournament battled Miami for nearly 45 minutes throughout their quarterfinal matchup, and a trip to the ACC semifinals beckoned with a matchup against Coach K's Duke Blue Devils. As time wound down, the Eagles held possession with under 10 seconds remaining in a 69-69 game.
It took less than an instant to turn those dreams into a nightmare.
