Boston College Men’s Basketball vs. Notre Dame: Final Thoughts and Predictions

Things To Look Out For With Notre Dame:

1. Free Throws: Notre Dame comes into Tuesday evening’s contest one of the best free throw shooting teams in the country. BC will need to limit defensive contact, and in turn limit Notre Dame’s trips to the stripe.
2. Free Throws: BC also needs to work on the other end on generating contact and getting to the stripe. While BC certainly isn’t particularly good from the stipe when they get there, only generating 12 free throws in a game (as they did against Georgia Tech) isn’t going to cut it.
3. Compete Level: As I noted in my last Final Thoughts, BC has had problems with being ready to play, as noted by Jim Christian. That showed against Georgia Tech, with the team slumbering through most of the game. The Eagles need a wake up call.

Alcoholic Accompaniment of the Game

Wachusett Blueberry

So, some context. While I was down in Georgia, I tried the Sweetwater Blue, which is a blueberry beer from a local brewery. It was delicious. But they don’t sell it up here, which is sad. This is a perfect alternative.
