The Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team won another one Sunday evening, defeating the Miami Hurricanes 71 to 61 at Purcell Pavilion. The Irish have now won 6 of their last 8 as they navigate a much softer portion of their schedule.
ND was led on the evening by Nikola Djogo, who scored 18 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and dished out 3 assists in easily his best game of the season. Nate Laszewski (14 points, 7 rebounds), Dane Goodwin (11 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists), and Juwan Durham (12 points, 6 rebounds) also turned in nice days, with Laszewski’s impact mostly felt in the second half due to foul trouble that relegated him to the bench for much of the first half.
