The Notre Dame Fighting Irish end their season on the road against the Boston College Eagles in an ACC showdown. Both teams have had disappointing seasons and will probably not qualify for March Madness. However, they will still look to finish their respective seasons with a win.
Both teams are coming off stinging losses: Notre Dame lost its last regular-season home game to Stanford, while Boston College was also demolished at home by Virginia Tech. Bouncing back with a win on Saturday may yield better matchups in the ACC Tournament.
