Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 3897918, member: 1559"] I think you are living in the past. BC basketball started going south after they joined the ACC, but they did carry over their Big East success for the first 2 years in the ACC. I was a BC basketball season ticket holder and saw the collapse in performance and fan interest. BC lost all of their regional rivals when they joined the ACC although Syracuse later joined them in the ACC. They still don't have a basketball practice facility. And, there is little interest from the BC administration to invest in basketball which is why they have gone after cheap head coaches. Jim O'Brien and Al Skinner were the last 2 coaches that had "success" at BC. O'Brien was there 11 years and had a record of 168-166 with a conference record of 64-114. Skinner was there 13 years and had a record of 247-165 with a conference record of 106-106. In contrast, DePaul opened up a new basketball arena in 2017 that seats 10K, so they are serious about basketball. [/QUOTE]
