The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Miami Hurricanes face off on Sunday in a college basketball showdown at the BankUnited Center.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have had some real struggles this season and coming into this game they sit with a 4-8 record overall. Even with all the struggles, Notre Dame is coming off a win in their last game. The offense was elite for the Fighting Iriish putting up 80 points and that was enough to come away with the ten point victory. Notre Dame on the season is averaging 71.2 points per game while their defense is giving up 74.6 points per game. Away from home this season, Notre Dame is averaging 66 points per game and the defense is going to need to be better in this game. Nate Laszewski has been the best player for Notre Dame and on the season he is averaging 16.7 points while shooting 64.1 percent from the field. 

On the other side of this matchup is the MIami Hurricanes who come into this game with a 6-7 record overall and they have lost two of their last three games. In the last game against Syracuse the defense struggled scoring only 57 points and that led to a blowout loss. On the season, Miami is averaging 67.4 points per game while their defense is giving up 68 points per game. This isn’t an elite offensive team, so their defense has to be strong. Miami on the season is shooting 43.4 percent from the field and 26.8 percent from behind the three point line. Isaiah Wong has been the best player for Miami averaging 17.5 points while shooting 45.9 percent from the field and 29.6 percent from behind the three point line. 

The under is 7-2 in Notre Dame’s last nine games played on Sunday. Notre Dame is 2-6 against the spread in their last eight games overall. Miami is 2-7 against the spread in their last nine games played on Sunday. Miami is 12-5 against the spread in their last 17 home games. 

These are two teams who are inconsistent, but NOtre Dame only has one win on the road this season and I am not trusting them to find a whole lot more success in this game. Look for Miami to win this game and cover the spread. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
