| The Boston College Eagles The ACC schedule works in three-year cycles. Each team is assigned two permanent partners and nine rotating partners. Teams play their permanent partners in a home-and-away series each year. The rotating partners are split into three groups: three teams who are played in a home-and-away series, three teams who are played at home, and three teams who are played on the road. The rotating partner groups are rotated every three years. This creates an intra-conference schedule of 16 games against 11 Atlantic Coast Conference teams. The Boston College Eagles’ two permanent partners are the Miami Hurricanes and the Virginia Tech Hokies. Awesomeseating.com is your go-to ticket broker for ACC basketball. ACC schools have captured 10 NCAA Championships; the North Carolina Tar Heels have won 4 times, the Duke Blue Devils have won three; North Carolina State Wolf Pack has won two, and the Maryland Terrapins have won one. Boston College joined the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2005 after 27 years in the Big East. The Eagles have been to the Elite 8 three times; 1967, 1982 and 1994. They made it to the Sweet Sixteen round one additional time, the 2005-06 season. In 2007-08 the Eagles finished last in the ACC with an intra-conference record of 4-12 and an overall record of 14-17. Home court for Boston College basketball is Conte Forum, an 8,606-capacity arena on the Boston College campus in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. The arena, open since 1988, abuts Alumni Stadium and some luxury boxes overlook both Alumni Stadium and the Conte Forum, home to the Boston College Eagles men’s and women’s basketball and ice hockey teams. In between the Eagles’ 2006 visit to the Sweet Sixteen and the club’s last place finish in 2008 was a weak but not horrific 2007 season. The Eagles finished in a three-way tie for 3 rd with the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Maryland Terrapins at 10-6, behind two teams tied for first, the Virginia Cavaliers and the North Carolina Tar Heels with identical intra-conference records of 11-5. The 10-6 was good enough to allow the Eagles to squeak into a return to the ACC semifinal, but BC was no match for the 1 st seed Tar Heels. Following the end of the 2007 season seniors and team leaders Jared Dudley and Sean Marshall moved on to the pros. The 2007-08 team failed to keep up with the competition, finishing with a .250 intra-conference winning percentage and a 4-12 won-loss record. The year did yield three good freshman prospects that bode well for the future if they continue to mature; Rakim Sanders, Josh Southern, and Corey Raji. In early 2008 Rice put up 48 points in a 90-80 loss to North Carolina. Awesomeseating.com offers cheap tickets and luxury tickets for NCAA Basketball.
