Syracuse students agree: If Syracuse can't beat BC, we should just end the season.
Syracuse blew it against UNC last Saturday. But the good news is Syracuse takes on Boston College, the team Syracuse absolutely crushed earlier in the year. BC, the cure for what ails you.
The Eagles are still one of the worst shooting teams in the league, only making 30.1% from long range. They are also one of the worst defensive teams in the league. Just like the last game. Jay Heath is the best shooter on BC. If anyone is getting hot from long range, it's Heath. However, that's still fairly unlikely. He's only scoring 12.9 points a game and shooting 37% from three. Yes, that is the leading scorer for Boston College. BC also has no real inside scoring threat. I don't believe BC even attempted a hot inside the arc for the first eight minutes of the game in Syracuse. This game, while closer due to the fact they are at home and won't miss everything they missed in Syracuse, should still be heavily in Syracuse's favor. Look for Boeheim to contribute, as he lit up the Eagles in the lat meeting. Obviously Hughes will Add points. But Sidibe contributing on offense his been the real X Factor lately. Syracuse should be able to score against the Eagles, while limiting their opportunities. Syracuse has been one of the most efficient teams in the fast break, and BC doesn't have a good defense. O0range over the Boston College Eagles by 16.
This game is available on ESPN 2 at 7:00pm. I'll be in the Conte Forum not in Boston, while John will be in the home office. I'll see you out there. GO ORANGE!
