About The Boston College Eagles
In 1904, a men's varsity team was sanctioned and on December 26 of that year BC played its first-ever game, losing with 8-6 to Battery H of Navy, and won its first-ever game that season against Tufts, 23-17, in Medford. A brief revival in the early 1920s brought the men's team back, but it was dropped again following the 1924-25 season. Finally, following World War II when the sport began to really take off in the United States, the basketball team became permanent in the 1945-46 season. In 1963 BC hired Boston Celtics legend Bob Cousy as head coach, and in his six years as coach the Eagles earned postseason berths in five of those years including a trip to the Elite Eight in 1967.
Through the years Boston College has hired several other notable coaches including Chuck Daly, Dr. Tom Davis, Gary Williams and former Eagle, Jim O'Brien '71. Through the end of the 2004-05 season, the men's team holds a winning record of .719 since the start of the 2000-01 season. The Eagles have defeated the defending national champions in each of the last three seasons: Syracuse 57-54 (on 2004-03-11), Uconn 75-70 (on 2005-01-05) and UNC 81-74 (on 2006-01-25 and 2006-03-11).
