CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Boston College and Miami are not natural rivals on a basketball court. They share a history dating back to the Hurricanes' admittance to the Big East, but the two teams had one meeting at the old Roberts Center before Miami became a conference opponent at the start of the 1989-90 season. They still don't share a geographic alliance or an ancient throwback beyond the 21st century, and the late years before both teams realigned into the Atlantic Coast Conference are littered with a number of dominating performances by an Eagles team that won the Big East championship and routinely ranked atop the nation's elite.
