CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Last week's Syracuse game was as disastrous as possible for Boston College's basketball program. The Orange blew out the Eagles with a 101-63 score and handed the program its worst home loss in Conte Forum history. The 38-point deficit stretched as high as 48 points in the game's final two minutes, and it left an indictment of the entire maroon and gold side prior to the team's off week for final exams.
A subsequent 10-day break faded the result as much as possible and needs to be in the rear view mirror on Tuesday when BC takes the court for the first time since that resounding loss.
