The Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team picked up their second win in a row, beating an injury-riddled Miami Hurricanes squad in Coral Gables this evening by a final score of 73 to 59.
The Irish, who were winless in conference play just over a week ago, are now 5-8 on the season and 2-5 in the ACC after beating the Boston College Eagles last weekend and then having a week off due to their Martin Luther King Jr. Day game at Howard being cancelled.
The Irish started the game with a very odd group, as Mike Brey chose to start the “Blue Team,” or essentially the 2nd team, for the first four minutes of play.
