In the second to last ACC road game of the 2019-20 season, the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team handled Boston College by a final score of 84-71 on Tuesday night.
Boston College played without senior center Nik Popovic, who missed the game due a back injury. Jared Hamilton and Jarius Hamilton were also out with an ankle injury and knee injury, respectively.
Despite losing three of its top five scorers, Boston College still came out strong to build an early 8-4 lead over Syracuse. The Orange fell behind out of the gate, which led to Jim Boeheim turning to Howard Washington just three minutes in to run the point.
