NCAA Brackets Saw Boston College Win

It was the first NCAA Bracket thriller of the tournament and Boston College found themselves edging the Pacific Tigers in a double-overtime, 88-76 slugfest.

BC caught the Tigers trying to engineer an upset. Luckily for them, they were able to stop this sudden resurgence from Pacific College.

It was 9 seconds left in regulation when Pacific's Christian Maraker tied the game with a wide-open three-point shot. It was a three-point shot Pacific fans were already cheering for even before it left Maraker's fans.

Boston College, probably sensing an upset brewing, countered, by holding the three-point shooting gunner, scoreless, in the next two extra sessions.

The result was inevitable as Pacific had virtually no one stepping up the plate.

Tigers will always maul eagles in the animal kingdom, but in the kingdom of college hoops, it was the Eagles' who destroyed the Tigers.

It became quite clear in the second overtime that Pacific superstar, Christian Maraker, is having his last college basketball game that afternoon.

Pacific fans didn't go away without proving a point though, as they chanted, ''overrated'' to Boston College, stressing the fact that the Eagles had to work hard in what was suppose to be an easy win.

The Boston College Eagles is set to face Montana on Saturday. Bet on it at Bodog now.
