Desperate for a home victory after an underwhelming offensive performance on the road versus Syracuse, the Miami Hurricanes men’s basketball team welcomed a similarly struggling Notre Dame team to Coral Gables on Sunday night.
The Canes struggled themselves, however, with only seven scholarship players available, as sophomore forward Anthony Walker (bruised heel), Earl Timberlake (shoulder), and Chris Lykes (ankle) were sidelined in the 73-59 loss.
Notre Dame guard Prentiss Hubb scored 19 points, forwards Juwan Durham and Nate Laszewski combined for 32, and the Fighting Irish (5-8, 2-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) defeated Miami (6-8, 2-7 ACC) at the Watsco Center.
