Miami will attempt to thrust themselves atop the ACC standings when they travel to South Bend to take on Notre Dame on Wednesday.

- Miami is 4-1 ATS in their past five games against teams with winning records.
- The UNDER is 5-0 on Notre Dame’s past five games coming off of a loss..

Zach Auguste has been a monster for Notre Dame as the senior has averaged 15.1 points and 11.2 rebounds over the past eight games.
