Faith Restored: Irish Dominate Eagles, 78-60

Faith over doubt." Head Coach Micah Shrewsberry’s mantra powered Notre Dame (8-9, 2-4 ACC) to a 78-60 win over Boston College (9-8, 1-5 ACC), snapping a four-game skid.

“Really proud of the guys for keeping the faith,” Shrewsberry said. “Roper and Kebba’s hustle plays made a big difference.”

Tae Davis led the Irish with 26 points, just shy of his career high. Markus Burton added 20 points, while Kebba Njie contributed 11 points and nine rebounds.

Notre Dame dominated the glass with 17 offensive boards, turning them into a season-best 25 second-chance points.

Defensively, the Irish forced 18 turnovers, including a season-high 13 steals, led by Burton with four.

After a tight first half, Notre Dame exploded with a 20-4 second half run to pull away.

The Irish now hit the road to face Syracuse on Saturday, Jan. 18, at 4 p.m. ET on ACC Network.
