From a certain perspective, one could logically argue that Saturday afternoon’s tilt between the SU hoops outfit and Boston College is a must-win for the ‘Cuse.
Sure, the Orange (16-7, 7-3) will have seven games left in the 2018-19 regular season after its duel with the Eagles (11-10, 2-7). And of those remaining contests, a bunch of them are against ranked foes, so the opportunities are aplenty for Syracuse to notch high-quality successes and boost its Big Dance resume.
However, on the flip side, SU has already fallen four times on the Hill in the present term, and I believe that a loss to BC would really put the Orange in a bind.
