The Syracuse Orange capped off an astonishing regular season by defeating rivals Boston College Thursday night, 71-55. Syracuse finished off the season with a 23-6 record overall and went 13-3 in the ACC. 23 wins ties the Syracuse record for most wins in a regular season. Also, Syracuse finished third in the ACC, its highest ever finish in the league. Finishing third secures a double-bye in the ACC tournament. It is still undetermined who SU will play in their first game, but we will get a good idea by Sunday.
Syracuse won the game with incredible defense, like it has so many times this season.
