Notre Dame scored six of the next eight to go into the second with a 14-11 lead.

A Win Would

- Watch if BC can keep Pitt off the free throw line, where Pitt is 5-2 when attempting more than 18 free throws.

- Opponents are averaging 22.5 points off turnovers in ACC play. Watch if the Eagles can take advantage of Pitt's turnovers.
