The Jacksonville Dolphins typically have all the answers at home, but on Tuesday Notre Dame proved too difficult a challenge. The stars were brightly shining for the Fighting Irish in a 59-43 win over Jacksonville. Notre Dame’s guard Marcus Hammond filled up the stat sheet, picking up 15 points.
Meanwhile, Miami (Fla.) was expected to lose against the Virginia Cavaliers last Tuesday, but instead they received a nice stocking stuffer.

It was another big night for their guard Isaiah Wong, who had 24 points and five assists along with six boards.
The Fighting Irish are expected to lose this next one by 3.5. Those who got lucky with them against the spread on Tuesday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.
