SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) Norchad Omier scored a season-high 33 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, leading Miami past Notre Dame Fighting Irish 73-61 on Wednesday night.
Omier made 12 of 14 shots that included six dunks and two 3-pointers. He added 7 of 9 from the line. Kyshawn George added 11 points and Nijel Pack and Bensley Joseph scored 10 each for Miami (13-6, 4-4 ACC).
The Fighting Irish opened the second half on an 11-2 run and took a one-point lead with 15 minutes remaining. Omier scored eight of Miami's first 10 points of the half.
Notre Dame took its final lead at 52-49 on a 3-pointer by J.R. Konieczny with 9 1/2 minutes to go. The Fighting Irish made three baskets in the final 9 1/2 minutes.
Markus Burton scored 15 points and Konieczny added 13 for Notre Dame (7-12, 2-6). Braeden Shrewsberry finished with 10.
Burton scored eight straight points for Notre Dame to get the Fighting Irish within 26-24 with seven minutes to go in the first half.
