Boston College Basketball Beats Syracuse
In what some have called the biggest upset in college basketball this season, Boston College beat undefeated Syracuse in overtime by a score of 62-59. Despite a rocking season and five consecutive loses before the Syracuse game, the Eagles came together and ended Syracuse’s undefeated season. Coaches and players of BC wore a DK patch to honor Dick Kelly, assistant athletic director for media relations, who passed away from ALS recently. Twitter erupted accordingly, even Lance Armstrong tweeted at the team tweeting, “Cool to see Boston College hoops win one at undefeated Syracuse for longtime SID Dick Kelley. Teamwork.”
