Staff Picks: Notre Dame Basketball vs. Boston College

Pat Rick, Editor (13-5 ND Games) (54-36 Bonus Picks)

Boston College Eagles at Notre Dame Fighting Irish: Notre Dame

“It’ll be close, but I think Gibbs, Geben, and Farrell score enough at home to finally snap the losing streak. This will be one of a rare few wins the Irish have left in them this year, so cherish it, everyone. Oh, and Marty’s gonna toss down another classic thunder-dunk in this one.”

Boston College Eagles at Notre Dame Fighting Irish: Notre Dame

“A more manageable home matchup with a healthier Matt Farrell is exactly what the Irish need right now. They’ll finally get back in the win column.”

Boston College Eagles at Notre Dame Fighting Irish: Notre Dame

“This is Notre Dame’s second best chance to pick up a win for the rest of the season (at home against Pitt is the best chance). I’ll go with the Irish here based alone on the thought they can’t lose every game. Give me the Irish in a very closely contested game.”

Boston College Eagles at Notre Dame Fighting Irish: Boston College

“This team is running on fumes at this point. The lack of bodies and subsequent lack of rest for the players is undoubtedly detrimental to Notre Dame’s hopes to get this season back on track. The Irish definitely could make this a game, but I don’t see them coming out with the win.”

Boston College Eagles at Notre Dame Fighting Irish: Boston College

“This Irish team is hurting on the offensive end. I’m not sure they will be able to score enough to beat anyone in the ACC outside of Pittsburgh. Until I see differently, I’ll take the Eagles to win a close one. ”
