CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Last week's Thanksgiving celebrations came at the perfect time for Earl Grant's Eagles. The previous week's trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands resulted in a 2-1 record in the Paradise Jam and returning home meant a few days of rest and relaxation prior to Sunday's matinee matchup with Rhode Island.
Workouts and film sessions loomed, but having the time to stretch legs and unwind was a welcome change after the grueling weekend in the tropics. BC was ready for a break, and after taking a few days off to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday, the Eagles returned to the court by staying committed to their defensive culture in a 53-49 win over the Rams.
