BC Basketball

The Boston College Men's Basketball team was chosen 9th in the ACC in the pre-season poll. Its hard to believe they are getting such little respect despite returning all but one of their players. I am sure this suits the team and coaching staff just fine, after all they should be used to getting overlooked in the conference.

FoxSports' Jeff Goodman wrote about the Eagle's practice sessions. It seems the team is focused and ready to go this season. They know they have to be more defensive minded and Sanders seems poised to step up. "I know that a lot rests on me, but I’m a smarter player now,” Sanders said. "I understand the game more, that I can get shots instead of forcing things.”

ACCSports.com posted a brief Q&A with junior forward Joe Trapani.

The basketball team will also host Northeastern in a closed scrimmage on Saturday.
