Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim talks up BC's backcourt, Eagles' Jim Christian talks up Boeheim's 'genius'

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Few coaches have lavished more praise on Boston College's backcourt over the past two season than Syracuse's Jim Boeheim.

With Ky Bowman, Jerome Robinson and Jordan Chatman coming to the Carrier Dome on Wednesday, Boeheim was back to talking up the Eagles guards.

"They've got as good a three offensive players in the backcourt as any team in the league," Boeheim said during the ACC coaches teleconference on Monday. "With Robinson, Bowman, Chatman, these guys can shoot it, they put it on the floor and make plays. And they've got that experience now. I don't think anybody shoots it as good from the 3-point line as this team.
