Freshman forward Tyler Lydon scored 20 points and grabbed six rebounds as Syracuse continued its march toward an NCAA berth with its fifth straight win, scoring a 75-61 Atlantic Coast Conference victory over woeful Boston College on Sunday at Boston.

The Orange (18-8, 8-5 ACC) went on a 21-4 second-half run that sent the Eagles (7-18, 0-12) to a program record-tying 12th straight loss and gave Syracuse its eighth win in the last nine games.

Forward Michael Gbinije scored 17 points in his 27th straight double-figure scoring effort for the Orange, while freshman guard Malachi Richardson had 15 points and five assists and guard Trevor Cooney 12 points in the win. Syracuse went 11-for-23 from 3-point range.

The Orange trailed 41-39 when Gbinije hit a 3-pointer to start the run, and then put down a mild Boston College uprising later in the second half with a flurry of treys.

Freshman guard Matt Milon scored 20 of his season-high 25 points in the first half for the Eagles. Center Dennis Clifford, coming off a 14-point, 13-rebound effort against No. 9 North Carolina, had 16 points and eight rebounds and guard Sammy Barnes-Thompkins had all 11 of his points in the second half.

Guard Eli Carter, Boston College's leading scorer, was held to just seven points but did grab a career-high nine rebounds. He is 10-for-30 shooting in the last two games.
