Boston College's 2010-2011 Basketball Schedule: Peak and Review

If you’re a sucker for a marquee match up, this is probably not the schedule you’re going to want to look at. Of course, coming off a 15-16 record and bringing in a new head coach this summer, no one can fault Boston College for taking it easy this season.

Boston College's 2010-2011 Schedule

When Texas A&M is your toughest non-conference opponent, then strength of schedule isn’t one of your goals heading into the season. 

That’s the case for Boston College.

Am I being a bit harsh? Probably. It’s not like they’re a bunch of cupcakes. The first three (St. Francis, Yale, and Holy Cross) should all be wins for this veteran team.

They head into the Old Spice Classic in Orlando, where they’ll meet those Aggies from Texas. If they can win that game, then they could end up face-to-face with a solid Wisconsin team, who will be taking on Manhattan. The tournament also features Georgia, Notre Dame, Temple, and California.

December starts off with the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, where they’ll face an Indiana team that has won only 16 games over the last two years.

They open up ACC play on December 12, visiting Maryland. That game is sandwiched between some less than stellar teams likes UMass, Providence, the Bryant Bulldogs (who?) , and Bucknell.

The Eagles two final non-conference opponents may be lesser foes, but both could easily be defeats. They travel to Rhode Island to take on the Rams, then welcome Harvard. Coach Tommy Amaker’s boys have owned B.C. of late, winning their last two.
