Following 3rd ranked Duke expanding their winning streak to 11 games with 89-54 win over Miami Duke Head Coach Jon Scheyer had this to say about his team is performing offensively. Had this to about Patrick Ngongba! We’ve found out how good we can be when we share it . And I think our guys have fallen in love with that, and we continue to do it. Cooper’s passing you know I thought was terrific. We have such a belief in Pat as a player . Pat has not been afforded the time that most freshman have based on his injury . I thought he gave some really good minutes . He’s still working through stuff . I thought he gave a little bit of a lift.

Boston College comes into the game with record of 9-8 overall 1-5 in the Atlantic Coast Conference is seventeenth in the Atlantic Coast Conference standings because they’ve lost three straight Atlantic Coast Conference games including their previous game a 78-60 loss to Notre Dame Monday. where one player scored in double figures in South Bend Indiana where Donald Hand Jr. was 6-11 on field goals , 5-7 on 3 pointers to go along with 1 rebound , 3 assists, 17 points.
Following Boston College 78-60 loss on the road at Notre Dame Head Coach Earl Grant had this to say about Tae Davis 26 points on only having 10 assists as a team if Notre Dame did anything different from eight minute mark onward on free throw discrepancy on losing the offensive rebounding battle On a technical foul call on Chad Venning that stopped momentum in the first half!
He's developed. That's the fifth time I've seen him, fourth time I've seen him and it's the best he's played. So, really was impressed with his game. Looked like a professional player today."
I thought we played a great game up until about the eight-minute mark left. It was a one possession game and Notre Dame was really aggressive, they hit the glass pretty hard. I just think...give them credit. They beat us on the glass. Their ball screen coverage, we made some tough decisions, they knocked the ball loose on some deflections they had. I thought (Julian) Roper came in and really gave them a great lift off the bench with his energy."
I think the difference is, you know...to be honest with you, every time we've played Notre Dame it's been tight. The difference is they had seven guys from last year. It's the same guys. So, we got to that moment and those guys have been together. We broke down. We broke down. We didn't make the plays we needed to make. We didn't execute at the level we needed to execute and they did. It's simple. They executed and they were fluid and we got choppy in a tight moment. But, I think their experienced helped with that. You look, they've got five on the floor, five guys returning from last year, that's a huge difference. In a tight game, that's a huge difference. Because now, you've got to execute. Now, you've got to get stops. Now, you've got to really trust your system, trust each other. So, I thought between...we did a great job on (Braedan) Shrewsbury, but I thought between Tae Davis and (Markus) Burton, they really turned up their gas in the middle of the second half, in the guts of the game and kind of took command of the game, it was simple."I mean, it's a combination (of officiating and not being aggressive enough). I thought the officials...it was a good crew. We could have got two or three more calls, but again, I thought they took the ball to the basket with more authority. I thought we shot some balls kind of in-between. We needed to get closer to the basket and be more physical, forcing the referee to make a call. So, that was the difference. I thought the officials were fine. There were a few calls, maybe two or three that I argued. But, overall, it was just they took the ball to the basket with a little more authority than we did."That was very uncharacteristic for us. Our defensive rebound numbers are really high, we usually rebound the first miss. This was the first night in a long time where somebody hurt us on the glass the way that they did. I thought their guards penetrated the ball, got us in rotation and their bigs were at the rim trying to tip it back in."I'm not 100% sure what was said. I thought most times a referee would warn a kid before you give him a tech. We were up four at the time, we were in good rhythm. Most times referees will warn a kid, 'hey, clean up your language,' you know, but he gave him a technical foul. That chopped the game up. We went with Jayden (Hastings). he's been really good for us, but he's a young guy, hasn't been in these moments and he looked like a young guy, you know? So, yeah, they made that call. Again, I wasn't on the baseline, so I'm not sure what was said, what (Venning) said to make that call. But, most times I would think a referee would give a guy a warning."
