Eagles Show Solidarity With Jags, Lose to an Ivy League School

After a sensational win at Chapel Hill on Sunday, the Boston College Eagles took to the court to defend their new found top 25 position against the Crimson Tide of Harvard.  Easy win right?  
Not. So. Much.  Harvard took the lead with 7:30 to play in the first half and never looked back.  

Pretty sad really, just three days after beating a number one team for the first time ever, they allow Tommy Amaker's bunch to beat a ranked team for what I think was the first time ever.  I should probably stat check but no thanks.  Fitting that a Duke man is leading Harvard to places they've never been before.  

Oh and in related Duke news, the Blue Devils shut down Davidson for the majority of their match up before allowing streaky Stephen Curry to get hot down the stretch.  Things got a little uncomfortable when the Wildcats trimmed Duke's lead from somewhere in the 20's to just under 10.  Duke had some trouble generating offense but the D stepped up when it mattered.  Solid effort for the number two ranked Devils.  

Mark Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy and (fill in play by play) make a great combo.  They did a fantastic job calling the Duke/Davidson game.  ESPN should try these gimmicks more often.  Shit like this works.  Shit like rearranging your entire website does not.  Note to Norby.
