I went to the BC basketball game versus Miami on Sunday, so I missed most of the Patriots debacle. Heading into the season, I was pretty optimistic, as BC returned everyone from last year’s NCAA squad but Tyrese Rice ( albeit their top scorer). BC then lost to St. Joe’s and Northern Iowa (not a bad club) at the Paradise Jam tournament, both losses coinciding with the loss of their best player, Rakim Sanders, in the first 5 minutes of the St. Joe’s game, and I started getting worried. Well, Sanders isn’t back yet (maybe tomorrow night or for Sunday’s game against URI), but BC has reeled off wins at Providence, at Michigan, and now against Miami. The highlight of the Miami game was this dunk from the next BC star, Reggie Jackson. Mr. October incredibly got called for a charge on this dunk, a horrendous call that could have cost BC the game (they were up 2 with 18 seconds left when the charge was called). Regardless, this is one of the best college dunks I’ve seen in a while (and probably the best at BC since Gerrod Abram broke the backboard during a game against Providence my junior year at BC):
