No. 10 Notre Dame 71, Boston College 63: Steve Vasturia and Jerian Grant scored 17 points apiece as the host Fighting Irish started strong and survived a late barrage by Eagles guard Olivier Hanlan to pick up an ACC win.

Zach Auguste had 16 points and Pat Connaughton chipped in 11 for Notre Dame (21-3, 9-2 ACC), which moved into a virtual tie atop the league standings with Virginia (8-1).

The Irish held a 63-49 lead after Grant's 3-pointer with just over four minutes left before Hanlan hit back-to-back triples and answered a Notre Dame free throw with another from beyond the arc to make it 64-58 with 2:22 to go. Vasturia and Hanlan exchanged triples, but Jackson provided his only basket for the Irish on a breakaway dunk to make it 69-61 with under a minute left as the Irish held on.

Connaughton scored on the contest's first shot to spark a game-opening 34-9 stretch and Notre Dame never trailed. Hanlan had seven points and Brown five in a 16-7 run that pulled Boston College within 41-25 at the break and the gap was 12 points after the Eagles scored on their first two possessions after halftime.
