Jordan Daniels scored a career-high 19 points, including four 3-pointers, to lead Boston College to a 64-60 victory against No. 15 Florida State on Wednesday night.

But the Eagles took the lead midway through the first half and fell behind only briefly in the second, running their lead to eight points and holding on.
Michael Snaer scored 16 for Florida State. But he shot 6-for-18 from the floor and made one of seven 3-point attempts.
No. 2 Syracuse 64, Georgetown 61, OT: Kris Joseph scored a career-high 29 points, hitting a go-ahead 3-pointer in the final minute of overtime, as Syracuse beat Georgetown to give coach Jim Boeheim his 880th win.
Boeheim took sole possession of third place all-time in Division I, one more than North Carolina's Dean Smith, but it wasn't easy against the Orange's rival.
No. 7 Kansas 68, No. 6 Baylor 54: Jeff Withey scored a career-high 25 points and Kansas went ahead to stay during a stretch without Thomas Robinson as the Jayhawks had another convincing victory against Baylor in Waco, Texas.
After a 14-3 run over the final 41/2 minutes of the first half with Robinson on the bench to take its first lead, Kansas (19-5, 9-2 Big 12) scored 14 consecutive points early in the second half to take control.
