Second Half Slaughter

Notre Dame badly needed a victory Tuesday against Cincinnati. Thanks to an impressive 64-point second half, the Irish pulled into a first-place tie in the Big East at 3-1 with a 91-74 win.

Luke Harangody scored 24 second half points, after being held to 0-for-5 in the first half, and Kyle McAlarney drilled 5 3-pointers as the Irish turned a seven point halftime deficit into a 17-point victory to extend their home winning streak to 31 straight, including 11 in conference play.

Now Notre Dame focuses its attention on trying to steal one of the next two road games against Georgetown and Villanova, respectively.
