Notre Dame's recent rough patch continued Saturday after its fourth straight loss. The Irish fell just short against Boston College by a score of 61-58. The matchup was a 23-23 toss-up at halftime, but Notre Dame couldn't close it out. The losing side was boosted by J.R. Konieczny, who scored 15 points along with eight rebounds and three steals.
The Irish covered four straight between Dec. 30 and Jan. 9 but they are just 1-3 ATS since that point. Markus Burton is the only player for the Irish averaging double digits at 16.0 ppg, while Konieczny (9.9), Braeden Shrewsberry (8.9 ppg) and Tae Davis (8.1 ppg) have been some of the secondary scorers.
