Wednesday, January 6

• From Bob Ryan of the Boston Globe: "Ask anyone. Nothing has ever intimidated Danya Abrams on the basketball court. He is a man's man down in the low post, utilizing every aspect of his 6-foot-6-inch, 250-poundish body in an area of the court where many larger guys fear to tread."

• From Julian Benbow of the Boston Globe: "Calling the Boston College men's basketball team's 89-32 win over New Jersey Institute of Technology last night a glorified scrimmage would be giving it too much credit. The Eagles' actual scrimmage - a 99-58 exhibition win over St. Michael's Nov. 8 - was more competitive."

• From Rich Thompson of the Boston Herald: "At the start of his team's eight-game homestand, Boston College coach Al Skinner never expected the finale against the New Jersey Institute of Technology would amount to a desperately needed morale booster."

Tuesday, December 15

• From Graham Hays of ESPN.com: "The stage directions seemed to call for anonymity. Stand inside arguably the world's most famous basketball arena, and share the sideline with two Hall of Fame coaches and another who owns one of the two national titles since 2002 not claimed by Geno Auriemma or Pat Summitt and coaches freshman phenomenon Brittney Griner."

Monday, December 14

• From Julian Benbow of the Boston Globe: "It wasn't necessarily pace, which Rhode Island set at about four possessions per minute, or the pressure, which they smothered Boston College with for almost 40 minutes. It was how the Eagles responded."

• From Rich Thompson of the Boston Herald: "In each defeat, BC had at least 14 turnovers and allowed 50 percent shooting from the floor."

• From John Connolly of the Boston Herald: "Boston College gave textbook evidence last night, putting the pedal to the metal early and never letting up en route to a 3-1 Hockey East victory over Providence College before 2,279 at Schneider Arena."

• From Staff and Wire Reports of the Boston Globe: "Baylor freshman Brittney Griner made a stellar debut at Madison Square Garden. The 6-foot-8-inch phenom scored 25 points, had seven rebounds, and blocked three shots to help the sixth-ranked Bears beat Boston College, 68-55, yesterday in the first game of the Maggie Dixon Classic."

Monday, December 7

• From Mark Blaudschun of the Boston Globe: "The next matchup between Boston College and the University of Southern California wasn't scheduled until the 2013 season, but in the wacky world of college football bowls, the unexpected sometimes happens. That was the case yesterday, when Emerald Bowl officials announced that the Dec. 26 game in San Francisco will pit the Eagles against the Trojans."

• From Julian Benbow of the Boston Globe: "Reggie Jackson made the most emphatic play of his career yesterday, but in the end it was the little things that made the difference."

• from Nancy Marrapese-Burrell of the Boston Globe: "The last time these Hockey East archrivals met, Boston University ended Boston College's season in the Hockey East semifinals back in March at TD Garden."

Thursday, December 3

• From Julian Benbow of the Boston Globe: "There must be 50 ways to make a layup. Last night, in a 62-58 win over Michigan, Boston College's Corey Raji provided a how-to guide."

• From Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald: "Considering Boston College was without its best player and on the road last night to meet a team ranked as high as No. 15 this season, "challenge" seemed a rather mild term for this Big Ten/ACC series."

Wednesday, December 2

• From Neal E. Boudette of the Wall Street Journal: "On New Year's Eve in 1962, Jack Parker and Jerry York lined up against each other in a high-school ice-hockey game -- and started a rivalry that has become one of the most extraordinary in college sports."
