Boston College has been through several highs and lows in their storied past. The program reached its apex in 1994, the year head coach \u00a0Jim O\u2019Brien<\/a> led the Eagles on a spectacular run to the elite eight. BC eventually fell to Florida in that season\u2019s NCAA Tournament, but their consecutive wins over one-seed UNC<\/a> and a powerhouse Indiana squad showed how special that team was.<\/p>\n

The Eagles didn\u2019t get past the round of 32 again until the 2006 NCAA Tournament. Led by future NBA players Jared Dudley<\/a> and Craig Smith<\/a>, the 2006 BC squad lost 60-59 in the Sweet 16 to a phenomenal Villanova<\/a> team led by Randy Foye<\/a>. Had they advanced, Boston College would\u2019ve gotten an opportunity for revenge against Florida.<\/p>\n

Since then, the team has only been invited to the big dance twice, in 2007 and 2009. Players like Ky Bowman<\/a>, Reggie Jackson<\/a>, and Quinten Post<\/a> have provided the fans with something to be excited about, but the ultimate goal in college basketball is making the NCAA Tournament. Earl Grant<\/a> seems to have the program heading in the right direction.<\/p>\n

Despite finishing 11th in the ACC and a losing conference record in 2023-24, Coach Grant got the team to 20 wins for the first time in over a decade. They\u2019ll need to use that momentum heading into the upcoming season. With Post, Jaeden Zackery<\/a>, and Claudell Harris<\/a> gone, there are questions as to who will play what role heading into the 2024-25 season. Let\u2019s further examine their history as a program to provide some lore with a Boston College Basketball All-Time Starting Lineup.<\/p>\n

Boston College Basketball All-Time Starting Lineup<\/h2>\n

Guard: Dana Barros<\/h3>\n

Dana Barros<\/a> may be an unfamiliar name to young college basketball fans. Nevertheless, he was a force to be reckoned with back in his hardwood days. Originally from Boston, Barros finished his collegiate career with 2,342 points which ranks<\/a> third on BC\u2019s all-time scoring list. In 1985-86 Barros was named Big East Rookie of the Year during a highly competitive year for the conference. Unfortunately, the Eagles weren\u2019t great that season going 13-15 to end coach Gary Williams’<\/a> tenure in The Heights. The undersized guard solidified his Big East Legacy making the All-Big East Team from 1986-87 through 1988-89. Aided by the Flutie effect, Barros helped Jim O\u2019Brien establish himself as a head coach finishing fourth in the 1988 NIT.<\/p>\n
