Boston College still trailed Notre Dame on its home court with less than 20 seconds on the fourth quarter clock, but the game felt very different than it did at the start of the period. The Fighting Irish led by as many as 14 with 5:33 left and by 12 as recently as 3:29 remaining, but the Eagles now threatened to pull even or, worse for the visitors, in front.
A Jaelyn Batts inbound pass found Taylor Soule on the right side, and the junior forward turned to drive face-up on an isolation.
