Jan. 25, 2026: #16 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish (14-6, 4-5) vs Boston College Eagles (11-7, 4-4) at Silvio O. Conte Forum, Chestnut Hill, MA Barney Bradley, BC fan: This game was close in the early going with multiple lead changes. But in the latter stages of the first half, BC caught fire, hitting most all their shots from all over the court. By the end of the first 20 minutes, the Eagles sported a 46-35 lead and Notre Dame seemed in shock. The only problem for BC was that starting C Jason Caldwell had 3 fouls against him. Then in the second half the Eagles shifted from a hot offense to a daunting defense which kept the Fighting Irish unable to really fight back and unable to mount a challenge. BC took Notre Dame to the cleaners and scored a resounding 78-61 victory. The Eagles outshot the Irish 58% to 37% and totally dominated the boards 36-18. Guard Samuel King came off the bench to lead all scorers with 16 points. C Jason Caldwell scored 12 before fouling out. PG Willis Lofton and SG James Lilly both added 11 points. PF Marius Witt and SF/PF Marvin Reese combined to grab a total of 17 rebounds. It sure was great seeing the Eagles take down Notre Dame so convincingly. We Eagles’ fan are not used to that.
