Last Tuesday, the Fighting Irish couldn't handle the Gamecocks and fell 65-53.

The losing side was boosted by Tae Davis, who scored 15 points along with 8 rebounds.

Meanwhile, after a string of five wins, Miami's good fortune finally ran out on Tuesday. They ended up on the wrong side of a bruising 95-73 walloping at the hands of the Wildcats. The oddsmakers set the bar high with a 163-point over/under, but they still managed to beat it.

Miami struggled to work together and finished the game with only eight assists. They were destroyed by their opponents in that department as Kentucky racked up 26.

Their wins bumped the Fighting Irish to 3-3 and the Gamecocks to 6-0.

In addition to losing their last games, Miami and Notre Dame failed to cover the spread. Looking forward, Miami is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 14 points.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Notre Dame have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 36.2 rebounds per game.
