UTEP men's basketball team dominant in home win vs. Seattle University. Miners are 6-2 on the season and avenged a loss to Seattle last year.
It’s been a moving target to date and is likely to stay that way, but his Notre Dame men’s basketball squad stumbled onto enough spurts on both ends of the floor in Saturday’s noon game in Purcell Pavilion to hold off Syracuse, 69-64, in an ACC opener for both teams. There was mostly relief and probably, as Shrewsberry said, a burst of belief, too, as the 5-5 Irish ended a five-game losing streak, four of those losses coming down to the final minutes. Just as the Irish are missing Markus Burton’s commanding presence and 18 points a game with a knee injury, so is the 4-4 Orange without JJ Starling, an Irish transfer who was averaging 19 points before breaking his left hand in practice last Monday.
Belmont, which led 58-40 midway through the second half, pulled off an 82-79 win over visiting Middle Tennessee State.
Ali Abdou Dibba had 19 points in Southern Illinois' 73-70 win over Southern Indiana on Saturday. Dibba added three steals for the Salukis (4-6, 0-1 Missouri Valley Conference). Jarrett Hensley added 16 points while shooting 4 for 10 (1 for 4 from 3-point range) and 7 of 10 from the free-throw line while he also had 11 rebounds.
