BC Fans Rejoice As They Head To The Championship Game
Tonight Miami’s coach Enrico Blasi will undoubtedly wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, having nightmares about Jerry York and the Boston College Eagles. The RedHawks once again found themselves matched against BC in the NCAA Tournament ... for the fourth time in five seasons, to be precise. And for the fourth straight time, the Eagles found a way to end the RedHawks’ National Title hopes.

Much had been made of Miami’s defense going into this game, but it was the Eagles defense that arguably had their best performance of the year. Muse didn’t have to make a ton of stops but when he did, he came up huge.
The RedHawks fall to 0-5 all-time against BC under coach Enrico Blasi, while John Muse maintains his perfect 7-0 record in the NCAA Tournament.
In the first semifinal, Wisconsin steamrolled RIT 8-1 in a game that was never close. Wisconsin drew first blood less than 2 minutes into the first period and never looked back.
The Eagles face the Wisconsin Badgers in the National Championship game on Saturday night. The game will be aired on ESPN starting at 7 PM ET. The Badgers and Eagles last played on October 10, 2008 in the Eagles’ home opener (and their banner raising night for their 2008 National Championship). BC won 5-4.
