TOP FIVE STORYLINES
DEFENSE LEADS ORANGE TO VICTORY

Syracuse allowed just three points and no field goals over a span of 10 minutes in the middle of the first half and held the Eagles to just 15 first-half points. Boston College had field goals on two consecutive possessions in the final 1:03 to play to avoid tying the record for the fewest points scored against the Orange since the Carrier Dome opened.

Junior Tyler Roberson posted his third double-double of the season in Syracuse's win against Boston College. He was 4-for-6 from the field on his way to 10 points. Roberson pulled down 12 rebounds, including five on the offensive end. He has now reached double figures in scoring in three straight games and four of the last five.

Senior DaJuan Coleman helped the Orange to a 34-14 advantage in points in the paint against Boston College with 14 points. He was 4-for-6 from the field and 3-for-3 from the free throw line for 11 points. He also pulled down five rebounds.
