Only way Canadians will be able to witness super sophmore Olivier Hanlan dancing next week during March Madness is if Hanlan and his Boston College squad win the ACC tourney. That said speculation of his future at BC and of leap frogging into the NBA continues to arise. Following are qoutes from Hanlan after his final regular season game last Saturday. Should
he stay or go?

Hanlan on entering NBA draft:

“I feel those are types of things I’m going to talk about after the ACC tournament,I don’t really like to focus my attention on that, because that sometimes can distract a lot of players, So I’ll take these next few days and focus on this tournament coming up and after that we’ll see what happens.’’

Hanlan on if his scoring prowess is necessary to win conference title:

“Whenever I’m aggressive, and I don’t think the game too much, I feel like I play pretty good. I think we’ll have other guys step up, it’s a five-game tournament and anything can happen. We’ve seen a lot of upsets in the past week with top teams falling, so whoever shows up and whoever is making shots is going to win.’’

Hanlan overall thoughts on season and entering conference tournament:

“It has been a tough year, a lot of ups and downs, a lot of close losses. Obviously, it’s not the season we were expecting, but we just have to look at this ACC tournament as a new season, It’s a five-game tournament and we just have to take it step by step and anything can happen, so we just have to stay positive.’’
