College students drink like no other humans. Hockey players drink like no other athletes. And Boston College's NCAA-winning hockey team? Well, they must drink like champions, because they had a fender bender with mass transit. More »

BOSTON COLLEGE EAGLES

1) The Rice Man Cometh When Tyrese Rice debuted on the Heights four years ago he made Jamal Crawford look like a guy who was bashful when it came to looking for his shot. Precocious bordering on irresponsible, Rice seemed to have little use for teammates. Or the shot clock. He was scorer. And he was darn good at it, having broken J.J. Redick's Virginia record for most three-point field goals made during a high school career. Which was seemingly the biggest problem he faced as far as fitting into head coach Al Skinner's button-down offense. But then a strange thing happened on the way to the D-League. Rice matured. He watched the way that upper classmen Jared Dudley, Sean Marshall and Craig Smith went about their business. He saw the measured way that Louis Hinnant ran the point and trusted in the offensive philosophy. During the next two seasons, Rice rose through the ranks from sniper to floor general. Slowly and surely he learned to harness his talents. He became the heart and conscience of the Eagles. He was named to the All-ACC first team during his junior season with an average of 21 points per game while playing with a supporting cast composed largely of freshman. He averaged more than 38 minutes per contest during the 2007-08 campaign and hung 46 on UNC in one of the great single-game performances of the season. A year later, he still has the ability to take over each game he plays but he no longer tries to take over every possession. Rice-who plays with the same ebullient aggression that made Iverson so entrancing at Georgetown-may have seen his scoring dip slightly this year (17.1) but his assists, and rebounds are up. And, most importantly, his team is better. Rice led the Eagles to a win @ No. 1 UNC and over No. 6 Duke (the first time in school history that BC dropped both teams in one year). He's the guy on the roster with the ability to take over any game and the potential to be one of this tourney's marquee names. More »

Boston College linebacker Brian Toal is a tough guy. He's had a rough college career filled with injuries, but the redshirt senior will not be beaten. Some—like the Boston Globe—might even say he's unbreakable, as they helpfully remind us on today's front page. Right next to the story about his broken right leg. More »

So we'd like to thank Eagle In Atlanta for this promotional video Russert did with his son at Boston College two seasons ago. More »

Washington advanced to the Sweet 16 with a narrow 3-point victory over... you know what, there's a certain Deadspin editor who would probably rather that this game was never mentioned on this site. So I'm not going to say anything about, other than Washington's Brandon Roy is a stud. And, um... sorry. More »

Immediately after my last post, Illinois and Texas A&M took it upon themselves to make me look like a jackass... not that that's particularly difficult. Illinois went on a 19-7 run and trails by just 2 at the half, while Texas A&M went on a 17-4 run to actually pull ahead of LSU. More »

The New York Times already beat you to the punch. The Old Grey Lady picked BC to win it all back last fall.
