The Eagles have shown resilience in their past performances, despite facing tough competition. In their last game against Virginia Tech Hokies, they scored 63 points but fell short as the Hokies secured a 74-point victory. The Eagles demonstrated tenacity with 10 steals and an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.13, indicating their ability to create opportunities even under pressure.

In an earlier matchup with Virginia Cavaliers, Boston College's defense shone through with 15 steals and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 28 points off them. However, shooting accuracy was a concern as they only managed a field goal percentage of 31 percent and two-point percentage of just over half that figure.

Against Syracuse Orange, another ranked opponent, the Eagles put up a strong fight but were edged out by just two points in scoring for each quarter on average. Their assist-to-turnover ratio improved to 1.19 showing better ball control and decision-making.

The upcoming game against Notre Dame presents an opportunity for Boston College to leverage their home court advantage at Silvio O. Conte Forum—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere that could potentially rattle visiting teams.
