After splitting its two games last week, Notre Dame men's basketball returns to the floor on Monday for a quick turnaround after Saturday's loss vs. Florida State. The Irish (7-10, 2-4 ACC) are at Boston College (10-6, 1-4 ACC).
In its last few losses, Notre Dame has been hindered by slow starts to the second half. Freshman point guard Markus Burton, who averages a team-high 16.2 points per game, will look to spearhead the effort to fix that against Boston College alongside regular starters J.R. Konieczny, Kebba Njie and Carey Booth.
The Irish are shooting 40% from the field and 29% from the 3-point line. Freshman shooting guard Braeden Shrewsberry was named ACC Rookie of the Week on Monday for his performance last week which included a career-high 25 points against Georgia Tech. Sophomore forward Tae Davis missed Saturday with an ankle injury and is considered day-to-day heading into Monday evening. Davis averaged 8.3 points and 5.8 rebounds in his first 16 starts of the season.
ND is holding its opponents to 65.2 points per game, which is nearly 14 points fewer than Boston College's team average of 78.9 points per contest. Notre Dame's post defense will need to be prepared for the Eagles leading scorer, Quinten Post, who stands 7-foot, 235-pounds and averages a team-high 16.9 points per game. Junior guards Claudell Harris Jr. and Jaeden Zackery and sophomore forward Devin McGlokton also average at least 10 points per contest.
Boston College has lost three of its last four, with its last win coming against Georgia Tech, 95-87. The Irish needed overtime to defeat the Yellow Jackets 75-68 last Tuesday for head coach Micah Shrewsberry's first true road win at ND.
