SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Dino Babers figures he knows what’s wrong in what has become a tough season for Syracuse, and he needs a quick fix.

“We need to reel it back in,” Babers said. “We talked about eliminating mental mistakes, playing physical. I think that this adversity that we’re going through is going to make them better. We need to work our way through it and persevere, and I believe we will.

“There’s good things happening, but there’s not enough good things.”

That’s for sure.

Syracuse (3-5, 0-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) is the only team in the ACC without a league win, and there are just four games left in the regular season to reach the six-win total needed to qualify for the postseason.

The Orange have lost three straight as they prepare to host Boston College (4-4, 2-3) in an Atlantic Division matchup on Saturday. The Eagles have dropped three of four, including 59-7 at No. 2 Clemson last week.

“We played the national champion. I’d say it was the best game they played all year,” said BC coach Steve Addazio, a former Orange assistant. “It was a homecoming game at night, Saturday night, Death Valley. I mean, they were humming.”
