Does Boston College have a shot this season? Yes. I expect to see them ranked in the Top 25 and they could possibly become one of the top ten teams in the country. There’s plenty of work to do first. Last season the Boston College Eagles finished 28-8 overall. They were 11-5 in the ACC conference. Their coach, Al Skinner, has been there for 8 years now. His record is 147-100.

The Boston College Eagles have two key losses this season. First, there’s 6-7 forward Craig Smith. He scored 17.6 points per game last season and pulled down 9.4 rebounds per game. They also lost 6-4 guard Louis Hinnant. He added 7.5 points per game and usually had a couple rebounds and assists as well.

The Boston College Eagles scored 74.2 points per game last season. There’s no real reason why anyone should expect that to lower much. The Eagles still have players that will contribute. They allowed 66.2 points per game in 2005. This area may get better this season.

The Boston College Eagles are an interesting team this season. I think they will go to the NCAA Tournament, but they most likely won’t get too much accomplished. They are not a Final Four or better type of team yet—but anything can happen. I look for them to get to the Sweet 16 this season.
