BOSTON COLLEGE EAGLES INFORMATION:
Location: Boston, Massachusetts
Stadium: Conte Forum
Conference: ACC Conference
Rivals: Notre Dame
Mascot: Baldwin
With a slew of recent 20 win seasons, a 2005-2006 trip to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, and beginning their 2004 season by going 20-0, the Boston College Eagles Men’s Basketball team is an obvious contender for the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) title, and a trip to the NCAA Tournament this year. Head coach Al Skinner has built a reputation on finding diamond-in-the-rough student athletes that other schools overlook. Conte Forum will rock again this season as Eagles fans cheer on a Boston College team that has built itself into a basketball powerhouse. The Boston College Eagles first started playing basketball in 1904. Basketball’s slight popularity caused the program to be discontinued and restarted a number of times. The 1963 hiring of Celtics legend Bob Cousy really put the Eagles program on the map. Boston College has 4 Big East Conference titles to the program’s credit, as well as 3 Conference Tournament titles in the Big East and ECAC New England. BC has sent many talented players on to the NBA such as Troy Bell and Dana Barros. The Boston College Eagles play their home games at the Silvio O. Conte Forum in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. Opened in 1988 with a capacity of 8,606, the Conte Forum is home to BC basketball – men’s and women’s – as well as the Eagles ice hockey team. Visitors to an Eagles game will be stunned by the volume of the crowd and the rich basketball tradition evident at this stunning venue.
