At this point, the Boston College men’s basketball team is as much science experiment as anything else. A petri dish of sorts where various components are added to the base and we see what results are produced. The dish is then reset and other items are added and evaluated and so on and so forth.
In sports though, the baseline of the petri dish changes as much as the various elements added to it and the results therefore can be exponentially different from one test to the other.
This definitely was the case at Cameron Indoor Stadium Saturday where both the Eagles and Duke Blue Devils morphed over 40 minutes like a kid with a ball of Play-Dho, the final result being a 93-82 win for the #8 team in the country.
