Feb. 8, 2000
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Freshman Uka Agbai registered a career-high 19 points in the Eagles' most recent game -- a 76-58 loss at Vanderbilt (Feb. 6). Agbai had recorded a career-best 16 points against Rutgers just four days earlier. He also set a career-high rebounding mark against the Scarlet Knights, grabbing 10 boards ... Junior Jonathan Beerbohm also set a career-high scoring mark at Vanderbilt. Beerbohm netted 15 points, one better than his previous high.
QUICK FACT: Troy Bell's three-point abilities truly have opponents jumping. In fact, Bell has been fouled on a three-point attempt in 11 games already this season, including eight of nine BIG EAST games ... Seven times he has made all three free throws. He has made 2-of-3 free throws the other four times ... FYI: When he has missed, he's missed the first shot twice, the second shot once and the third shot once ... Of the 10 times he's been fouled on a three-point attempt, the most crucial time was with his team trailing Georgetown by three with 16 seconds remaining. Bell, of course, made all three to even the score.
TEAM NOTES: Boston College has committed fewer turnovers than its opponent in 10 of the last 11 games ... In its Feb. 5 loss at St. John's, BC shot 9-for-21 (42.9 percent) from three-point range. The nine treys equaled the Eagles' 1999-2000 single-game high, while the long-range percentage was the team's second-best effort this season.
RANKED OPPONENT: With a victory over Connecticut tonight, Boston College would earn its first victory over a nationally-ranked opponent since defeating 21st-ranked Marquette, 64-54, in Milwaukee on Jan. 17, 1998.

Ted Sarandis is in his fifth season as the voice of the basketball Eagles. The 1999-2000 campaign marks his 23rd season describing the bouncing ball. He holds the unique distinction of having called play-by-play for all four Division I institutions in Boston ? Boston College, Boston University, Harvard and Northeastern ? as well as Holy Cross. In addition, the Boston native is host of the popular ?Ted Nation? talk show, heard weeknights from 7 p.m.-midnight on SportsRadio 850 WEEI. Joining Sarandis is Bill Newell.

TIMEOUT POLICY: The NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball Rules Committees have developed a new media timeout rule for the 1999-2000 season. Under this policy, electronic media timeouts shall be called at the first dead ball after the 16:00, 12:00, 8:00 and 4:00 minutes marks in each half. Each of these timeouts will be 105 seconds in length ... In addition, each team/coach has five 30-second timeouts (only four may be carried over to the second half) in regulation play, plus one additional 30-second timeout per overtime period (only coaches may call timeouts in overtime, and only the first timeout called by a coach in each overtime period will become an electronic media timeout). Unused timeouts from the second half or earlier overtime periods may be carried over into subsequent sessions ... The electronic media is entitled to nine timeouts. The entity gains access to the ninth timeout when the first coach-called timeout is taken. The first timeout in the game called by a coach becomes an electronic media timeout, but does not replace one of the scheduled four in that half.
