Tournament Games:
(4) Boston College 85 - (13) Penn 65

The good: 6-2 against the field. Only 4 losses. 1st in a tough Big East conference. 9-3 Road/Neutral record. Can win a ton of close games.

The bad: Inability to blow teams out is a warning signal to teams that have a bloated record. See "Margin of Victory" article. 4-4 in last 8 games after starting 20-0. Weakest of the Big East schedules, but did take care of business. Got a lower seed than deserved, based on their play. Probably not as good as their early play suggests. The 4-4 record over the last 8 games is more reflective of their ability.
