In this story:

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The Miami Hurricanes men's basketball team (4-17, 0-10 ACC) have lost ten in a row and now will face a Notre Dame team (10-10, 4-5 ACC) that has won three out of their last four games after defeating Georiga Tech 71-68.

The Fighting Irish have their prolific scorer Markus Burton and the Hurricanes have theirs in senior guard Matthew Cleveland preparing to reap some rewards now that he is playing some of the best basketball of his career.

The issue for UM is that they can not get over the "hump" and continue to get in their own way time and time again. Against Norte Dame, they will have to play clean basketball and continue to give the effort they have had in the past two games this season. Some players will have to sit as they are detrimental to the team and their success but winning cures all as the Hurricanes look for the cure of this plagued season.
