Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, January 20, 2006

Two of the lower ranked top 25 ACC teams may find themselves on the outside looking in after last night's games.

#22 Boston College fell to 0-4 in its new conference as Miami defeated the Eagles 82-68 in Coral Gables. The Hurricanes forced 29 Boston College turnovers and went on a 25-3 run in a six-minute stretch spanning the first and second halves. Tamara James led all scorers with 25 points.

#18 Viriginia Tech appeared to have their game against Wake Forest in hand in the first half, but the Deacons responded in the second half and held on for a 77-71 overtime win. Cotelia Bond-Young scored 22 points for Wake Forest, including a short jumper with 2 seconds left in regulation that tied the game at 67. It was the Deacons first win over a ranked opponent in more than a year.
