<p>SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Nikola Djogo scored 18 points on 7-for-10 shooting and Nate Laszewski scored 14 and Notre Dame beat Miami 71-61 on Sunday.</p>
<p>Laszewski finished shooting 6 for 8, Juwan Durham scored 12 and Dane Goodwin scored 11 with 11 rebounds for the Irish.</p>
<p>Notre Dame (9-10, 6-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) now has won back-to-back games for the third time this season, and six of its last eight as it tries to make a push coming down the season’s home stretch.</p>
<p>Laszewski’s three-point play gave the Irish a 50-43 lead with 10:46 remaining in the game. Miami (7-12, 3-11) countered with an 11-2 run over the next four minutes, and Elijah Olaniyi’s 3-pointer put the Hurricanes ahead 54-52.</p>
<p>Laszewski responded with consecutive layups, the second resulting in a three-point play, and the Irish proceeded to distance itself.</p>
<p>Isaiah Wong scored 17 points for the Hurricanes, Anthony Walker 14 with 10 rebounds, Kameron McGusty 12, Olaniyi 11 and Nysier Brooks secured 10 rebounds.</p>
<p>The injury-ravaged Hurricanes again played with just seven scholarship athletes. Point guard Chris Lykes suffered a setback in practice late last week to his injured ankle, which has kept him out for all but two games this year.</p>
<p>Compounding Miami’s injury woes, the club announced freshman Earl Timberlake will miss the rest of the season because of a shoulder ailment. He averaged 9.3 points and five rebounds in seven games this season.</p>
<p>The Hurricanes next host Georgia Tech on Saturday. The Irish host Clemson on Wednesday.</p>
