Well folks, it finally happened. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team FINALLY snapped their losing streak, finishing it at 7 games after defeating the Boston College Eagles 96-85 on Tuesday night at Purcell Pavilion.
This is going to be a sliiiiightly abbreviated version of the detailed recap, since the game happened two days ago anyway, but it was the first game in a while that was, from start to finish, really a joy to watch as a Notre Dame basketball fan.
Thus, let’s revel in that feeling a bit.
Pregame
I got to Purcell about 30 minutes early, and it was clear from the beginning that this 7-game losing streak, combined with the bad opponent, led to a lot of fans deciding to stay home.
