Miami Hurricanes Seek 10th Straight Win at Notre Dame

Miami aims for a historic 10-game winning streak when they visit Notre Dame on Tuesday. The Hurricanes achieved their ninth consecutive victory by defeating Georgia Tech 91-81, propelling them to 32nd in the AP Top 25 and 33rd in the NET rankings. Coach Jai Lucas stressed the importance of defensive growth, stating the team needs to improve to reach its full potential.

The upcoming game against Notre Dame presents a challenge, especially as the Fighting Irish recently fell to Clemson 76-61. Notre Dame's performance has been inconsistent since losing leading scorer Markus Burton to an ankle injury, resulting in three losses in their last six games. Coach Micah Shrewsberry hopes the Clemson game served as preparation for Miami's physical style.

Key players for both teams will be crucial. Miami relies on forward Malik Reneau, fourth in the ACC in scoring at 20.6 points per game. For Notre Dame, freshman guard Jalen Haralson leads the team with 14.9 points per game, and Braeden Shrewsberry is a top 3-point shooter. The Fighting Irish offense currently ranks 16th in the ACC.
