HOW IT HAPPENED
- Boston College jumped out to a 9-2 lead by hitting three of its four 3-point attempts. Brown connected on both of his tries to start the run.
- The Eagles held a 12-4 lead at the 14:41 mark, but Syracuse clamped down the rest of the half and finished with a 31-5 run to take a 35-17 lead into the locker room.
- An 11-2 BC run to start the second half brought the deficit back into single digits, 37-28, but a quick 9-3 run by the Orange pushed it back to 46-31.
- The Eagles never faded down the stretch and went on a 7-2 spurt to pull within six, 66-60, with 53 seconds left, but that is as close as they would get.
