Payne scores 26 points as Boston College upsets Syracuse 81-73 in OT for first
ACC win
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. (AP) --- Fred Payne scored 26 points, and Donald Hand Jr.
hit a game-tying 3-pointer in the final seconds of regulation as Boston College
outscored Syracuse 17-9 in overtime to win 81-73 and earn its first Atlantic
Coast Conference win of the season on Saturday.
Payne added six assists and three steals for the Eagles (8-10, 1-4 ACC), who
erased a late seven-point deficit in the final three minutes and snapped a
four-game conference losing streak. Hand finished with 12 points, with his
24-foot jumper with seven seconds left forcing overtime.
Syracuse (12-6, 3-2) held Boston College to 29% shooting in the first 10
minutes, jumping out to a 17-11 lead. The Orange led 33-28 at halftime despite
committing eight turnovers.
The Orange pushed ahead 64-60 on Nate Kingz's driving layup with 1:21 remaining
in regulation. Donnie Freeman then missed the front end of a one-and-one with
18 seconds left and, after a defensive stop, Hand buried the tying 3 to send
the game to overtime.
Boston College took command immediately in the extra period. Aidan Shaw opened
with a dunk, Chase Forte added a driving layup, and Jayden Hastings capped a
6-2 run with an alley-oop dunk that made it 70-66 with 2:43 left. The Eagles
sealed it by going 7 of 8 from the free-throw line in the final minute.
Kingz scored a career-high 27 points for Syracuse, while Freeman added 19
points and 14 rebounds. The Orange committed 18 turnovers.
