BOSTON (AP) Claudell Harris Jr. came off the bench to score 19 points, taking over the game down the stretch to help Boston College beat Syracuse 80-75 on Tuesday night, snapping an 11-game losing streak against the Orange.

Harris sank 7 of 11 shots with five 3-pointers for the Eagles (13-8, 4-6 Atlantic Coast Conference). Harris scored 11 straight points for Boston College after the Orange (14-7, 5-5) pulled within two points with 9:52 left to play. He hit four 3-pointers and scored 14 in the final 7:55.

Donald Hand Jr., Harris, Mason Madsen and Chas Kelly III all hit 3-pointers and the Eagles scored the final 14 points in a 26-10 run to close out the half.

Zackery sandwiched a jumper and a 3-pointer around a layup by Kelley and Boston College scored the first seven points of the second half to push its advantage to 44-30. Mintz's layup ended the Eagles' 21-0 run. Brown had 10 points in a 27-7 spurt and Syracuse pulled within 55-53 with just under 10 minutes left to play.
