UVA-Boston College, issues on defense

The UVA Basketball team, which has lost its last five, and is 1-6 in the ACC, gets Boston College, which has lost its last four, and is 1-6 in the ACC, in JPJ on Tuesday night.

The only reason this one is on TV – ACC Network, 7 p.m. ET – is because every game is on TV in this day and age.

True story: my wife gave up her season tickets this season (we might have anticipated … something), so she buys single-games each time out.

The gamble: that she’d get ‘em cheaper than what we’d pay for the season tickets plus VAF donation.

The price for her tickets in the 300s for this one: 80 cents each.

Even with fees, she’s out eight bucks for two tickets.

My, how the mighty have fallen.

Still, I feel worse for the BC folks, because that program has had three winning seasons since cutting bait with Al Skinner (247-165 in 13 seasons there) way back in 2010.

Earl Grant got the Eagles into the NIT last season, but he lost Quinten Post to the G League, Claudell Harris to Mississippi State, Jaeden Zackery to Clemson, Devin McGlockton to Vanderbilt, and Prince Aligbe to Seton Hall.

Boston College is 9-9.

Its one ACC win is Miami, 78-68 at home back on Jan.1.

Let me feel bad for one more guy: Dan Bonner is on the call for ACCN for this one.

Dan deserves better.
