RIP Clare Droesch

Former Boston College Basketball player Clare Droesch died Friday after a long battle with breast cancer. She was 36.

Droesch is a BC Hall of Famer and a key player to one of BC's most successful basketball runs. While she was at the Heights, BC made four straight NCAA Tournament appearances and won the 2004 Big East Championship.

Women's hoops win streak and other links

I hammered the BC women earlier in the season, so it is only fair for me to lead with their current win streak. Thursday night they came back to beat Clemson. It was their second straight ACC win.

On the BC women's basketball news front, former Eagle Clare Droesch's battle against cancer is getting national attention. Let's hope her struggle has the same happy ending as other recent Eagles who fought the disease.
