The Bruins lost Saturday afternoon, the Celtics lost last night, and we're all going to here about how godlike people think Donovan McNabb is for the next week. That's all shitty news.
But the good news is that BC went down to Chapel Hill and beat the best basketball team in the country. They didn't win by hitting a ridiculous amount of threes, or with a buzzer beater, and it wasn't one of those back-and-forth type games. BC actually led for the final 23+ minutes of play.
In the long run, this victory doesn't mean much for BC unless they play solidly in the ACC. They were picked to finish 11th in the conference, but they've beaten the #1 team in the country, and did it on the road. They host Miami on Saturday, then #6 Wake Forest next Wednesday. Wake Forest is a tough one, but BC has to be able to consistently defeat the Miamis of the conference.
Come March, if BC is one of those borderline teams for the tournament, a win like this could put them into the dance.
