Well y’all, it finally happened — the Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team picked up its first victory of the ACC season, defeating the Boston College Eagles 69-66 on Saturday despite having just 6 available scholarship players and missing key guys such as T.J. Gibbs and Juwan Durham.
That win was essential for the Irish to build any sort of confidence, to be sure, as Notre Dame’s ACC slate for the foreseeable future looks ROUGH.
ND, in its next 5 games, will play the #13 North Carolina Tar Heels in Chapel Hill, at home against the #17 North Carolina State Wolfpack, on the road at the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, and then two home games in a row against the #4 Virginia Cavaliers and the #1 Duke Blue Devils.
