Boston College Basketball picked up a much-needed win against Notre Dame to get back on track this week. With UNC looming on Saturday, let’s get right to it:
- On-ball defense:
I wrote last week about BC’s suffering defense, especially on the perimeter. The team must have heard me, because if there was ever a “gritty, not pretty” win it was over Notre Dame. At times, especially in the first half, where the Eagles looked downright ugly. Though their record is far from great, the Irish have played a lot of these mucked-up, ugly games – they held all of Duke, UVA, NC State, Georgia Tech and FSU to under 70 points.
