What’s at stake for Syracuse?
The Orange, currently in 13th place in the ACC, badly need this win to try to get out of the bottom third of the league standings and also boost their NCAA Tournament chances.

Syracuse and Boston College last met on the hardwood on Jan. 14, 2017, with the Orange winning at home 76-53. The Orange have won the last three Carrier Dome meetings between the schools since the Eagles spoiled Syracuse’s 25-0 start to the 2013-2014 season with a shocking Dome upset.
