Actually, I was going to say what wonders can occur when you aren't 
playing a tourney-bound Big Ten (or Big East) team. Certainly our best 
road performance, though I think Illinois and Michigan are both better 
than BC.

While I have been disappointed by this season's unmet expectations, I've 
never thought this was an awful team. They've been fairly consistent all 
year results-wise, with neither a horrible loss nor a great win. For 
better or worse, the NIT is where they belong, and it's good to see them 
competing well in it. Another tough road test looms, though hopefully 
they can benefit from a longer rest period.
