NOTRE DAME, Ind. â Lonnie Walker IV scored 19 points and Ebuka Izundu scored 14 points in his first start of the season, grabbed eight rebounds and had a huge putback in the waning seconds, as the Miami men's basketball team knocked off Notre Dame, 77-74, Monday evening at Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center.
Miami (19-8, 8-7 ACC) snapped a three-game losing streak and earned its seventh road win of the year, including its fourth in conference play. Ja'Quan Newton added a dozen points for the Hurricanes, while Anthony Lawrence II scored seven points, grabbed six rebounds and dished out six assists.
Martinas Geben led Notre Dame (16-12, 6-9 ACC) with 19 points, while Matt Farrell added 16.
Both teams shot very well. Miami hit 31-of-58 (53.4 percent) from the field, while Notre Dame canned 28 of its 53 attempts (52.8), including 60.7 percent in the second half. The Hurricanes were 9-of-19 from 3-point range, while Notre Dame was 7-of-20.
Izundu played a career-high 26 minutes and was huge in the second half scoring 12 of his points, including a putback with 11 seconds left to give the Canes a 77-72 lead after the Fighting Irish had pulled back within three.
The game featured an array of runs on both sides. Miami bolted to an early 16-8 lead, only to see Notre Dame respond with a 12-1 run over nearly seven minutes. The Hurricanes outscored ND 22-9 over the final 6:54 of the half, capped by Walker's buzzer-beating 3-pointer from the corner.
Notre Dame was sizzling from the field, hitting 14 of its first 19 shots to take a 62-57 lead with 7:51 left. Miami stepped up defensively and countered with an 13-0 run over the next 5:10, capped by a Newton jumper in the lane for a 70-62 edge. The Irish cut the lead to two, 72-70, on a deep Farrell 3-pointer with 1:09 left, but Lawrence finished a layup on a dish from Newton and was fouled with 47.4 seconds left. He hit the free throw for a 75-70 lead.
After a pair of Geben free throws, Miami ran the shot clock down before Newton missed a jumper, but Izundu grabbed the rebound in traffic and scored on the putback with 11 seconds remaining.
