Fans and Media React to Heartbreaking 3OT Boston College Loss to Syracuse, The Rundown: February 9, 2025

When it comes to bad beats, it doesn't get much worse than last night's 3OT loss to Syracuse for Boston College.
The Eagles were favored by seven in the game, and ultimately lost by nine after a nightmarish third overtime period. Understandably, BC fans had plenty to say on social media after the brutal defeat.
Boston College +7 is the worst beat of my life
