Boston College will tip off the 2009-10 basketball season with an exhibition contest against St. Michael's on Sunday, Nov. 8. Game time is 2 p.m. in Conte Forum. Admission is free (no ticket required).
The Eagles return 11 lettermen, including four starters, from last winter's team that finished with a 22-12 mark (9-7 ACC) and earned the program's seventh NCAA Tournament bid in the last nine years.

The 2009-10 Eagles feature one fresh face. Sophomore Peter Rehnquist joined the team as a walk-on during preseason workouts. Rehnquist, who hails from Sharon, Mass., earned All-Hockomock League honors as senior at Sharon High School in 2006-07. He spent the 2007-08 academic year as a postgraduate student at Deerfield Academy.
