Syracuse (10-7, 2-2 Atlantic Coast) looks to bounce back from its loss at Virginia Tech last Tuesday when it hosts Boston College (9-8, 2-2) in the Carrier Dome on Saturday at 4 p.m. The Eagles shocked the Orange in a 96-81 win on New Year’s Day at Conte Forum, when freshman guard Ky Bowman scored a game-high 30 points and Boston College shot a lights-out 61.5 percent from 3-point range.
