Syracuse (10-13, 4-8 ACC) looks to close out its homestand on a high note this afternoon when it hosts Boston College (10-12, 2-9 ACC) at 3:15 p.m.
The Orange are aiming to bounce back after Wednesday’s tough 83-54 loss to No. 2 Duke. Jyare Davis and J.J. Starling led Syracuse with 12 points each, while Naheem McLeod added a season-high 10. Despite the setback, Eddie Lampkin Jr. reached a career milestone, surpassing 1,000 career points. Meanwhile, Boston College comes in following an 84-58 loss to Louisville, just days after a dramatic comeback win over Florida State, where the Eagles erased an eight-point deficit in the final minute.
Syracuse took the first meeting between the teams on January 11, securing a 79-71 victory at Conte Forum behind Starling’s 26-point performance. The Orange have dominated the series historically, leading 59-27, and have won 10 straight home matchups against Boston College.
The game will be broadcast on The CW, featuring play-by-play commentary from Evan Lepler and analysis from John Henson.
