The Notre Dame Fighting Irish probably don’t need much more motivation against the Boston College Eagles tonight other than avenging an embarrassing loss from earlier in the season. And yet... the motivation to keep pace with the Duke Blue Devils at the top of the ACC is likely their biggest concern.
Notre Dame is just 1⁄2 game behind Duke in the ACC standings, and although there still is the ACC Tiurnament to play — claiming a regular season title (which doesn’t really exist in the ACC) would be collosal for the program.
