CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - The Boston College women's basketball team will play its regular 16-game BIG EAST schedule, as well as non-conference home games against two Southeastern conference foes in national powerhouse Tennessee and Arkansas, during the 2001-02 basketball season.
The Eagles will play a home-and-home series with Pittsburgh, St. John's and West Virginia this season. In addition, Boston College will host Georgetown, Providence, Rutgers, Seton Hall and Syracuse. They will face Connecticut, Miami, Notre Dame, Villanova and Virginia Tech on the road.
The league schedule calls for each team to face the 13 other BIG EAST schools once and to play three extra conference games in a home-and-home format.
In addition to its conference foes, Boston College is once again playing a strong non-conference schedule which will include a home tilt with six-time national champion Tennessee. The Eagles will also host Arkansas, Quinnipiac, and Boston-are rivals Northeastern and Holy Cross. They will face Fairfield, St. Joseph's, Buffalo and Oakland (Rochester, MI) on the road. Finally, Boston College will play in the Florida International Tournament along with Alabama-Birmingham, Ball State and host FIU, over the Christmas holiday break.
No dates have been released.
