Miami is ranked higher, but is a 5-4 team on the road. Miami is seventh in the ACC in scoring and heads out on the road after a two-game homestand. Their last road game they lost 96-71 at North Carolina. They face a talented Notre Dame Fighting Irish squad that is 13-1 at home and should be in a foul mood after suffering a 77-56 loss at Florida State. The Irish boast the most efficient offense in the nation behind Demetrius Jackson (16.3 points per game, 4.9 assists) and 6-10 Zach Auguste (14 ppg), leading five players averaging in double figures. Auguste is the ACC's second-leading rebounder (10.4 rpg). Despite all that offensive firepower, Notre Dame’s turnovers per game average (9.3 pg) ranks third in the nation. Miami won the first meeting, 79-70, so it's a revenge spot for the talented home team -- and they will get it. Play Notre Dame on the moneyline.
