Notre Dame needed to end its three-game losing streak in the worst way. A struggling Boston College team seemed like the right team to do that against. It proved to be easier said than done, but the Irish got the job done with a 97-94 win in double overtime,

The second Burton left the game for a quick breather, Notre Dame went on a 2:00 minute scoring drought that eventually turned into a 6:00 minute scoring drought, ended by a Burton buzzer beater layup at the end of the first half.
