When discussing its identity as an athletic program, Boston College is still school best known for Doug Flutie's iconic Hail Mary pass to beat the heavily favored University of Miami team in 1984. But the basketball team has caught up in the past decade, sending several talented players to the NBA and making numerous NCAA tournament appearances (since 2000, they've qualified seven times, three of those bids coming after the moved from the Big East to the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2005). A Proud Chestnut Hill Tradition Along with a sterling list of head coaches through the years (Bob Cousy, Chuck Daly, Gary Williams, Jim O'Brien and Al Skinner among others), the Eagles have produced a string of distinguished NBA talent like Jared Dudley (currently a key member of the NBA's Phoenix Suns), Troy Bell, and Craig Smith. More recently, BC star Reggie Jackson was drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder and is now a vital piece of their future. Now that the school has created a legitimate reputation for basketball, more players like the ones listed above should be coming aboard in the years ahead. Playing in the high-powered ACC, there are no off-nights for Boston College and they get to see the best of the best all season long. Under third year head coach Steve Donahue, the Eagles rebounded well from a subpar 2011-12 by finishing near .500 in 2012-13. With a young team built around stars Ryan Anderson Oliver Hanlan, expectations are high for 2013-14.
