The Syracuse basketball squad stays in the lovely confines of the Carrier Dome to face the Boston College Eagles for a second time on Saturday afternoon.

The Syracuse basketball squad is licking their wounds after a Carrier Dome beatdown vs the Florida State Seminoles. Up next for the Orange is their second rematch of the season, this time vs the Boston College Eagles.

SU should be familiar with the Eagles because they just played them three games ago. Syracuse is 1-1 since that BC matchup, but really need to get this one knowing what lies ahead in conference play.
