South Bend, IN (SportsNetwork.com) - With their sights set on another upset victory, the Miami Hurricanes invade Purcell Pavilion on Saturday afternoon to take on the 12th-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish in an ACC matchup. Jim Larranagas Hurricanes are coming off their biggest win of the season, as they routed fourth-ranked Duke on Wednesday (90-74), ending the nations longest homecourt winning streak at the time at 41 games. The victory was the third in the last four games for Miami and moved the team to 12-4 overall and 2-1 in league play. Mike Breys Irish are coming off a win as well, as they topped Georgia Tech on the road, 62-59. On the surface, the victory doesnt look all that impressive, but the team battled some adversity as a key player for Notre Dame was ruled out for the game, leaving others to fill the void. With the three-point win, Notre Dame moved to 16-2 on the year, with a 3-1 league ledger. Miami and Notre Dame have split 16 all-time meetings. The Hurricanes evened things up with a 71-64 victory at the BankUnited Center last February. WHatever Miami did at Cameron Indoor Stadium this week, few teams have replicated in the past. The Hurricanes not only shut down a potent offensive squad, holding Duke to just .439 shooting, but they also shot the lights out in Durham, converting .518 from the floor, and distancing themselves from the Blue Devils in the second half by shooting a scorching .667 after the break. Star guard Angel Rodriguez had a huge game, posting a game-high 24 points. Fellow guard Sheldon McClellan added 14 points to the cause, while center Tonye Jekiri recorded a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. On the season, Miami has been efficient at both ends of the floor, shooting .452 overall, while holding foes to a mere .407 shooting. McClellan and Rodriguez both transferred in from Texas and Kansas State, respectively, and both have paid immediate dividends. McClellen is shooting an impressive .532 from the floor and tops the team with 15.3 ppg. Rodriguez is right behind at 15.2 ppg, and leads the team in both assists (4.3 apg) and steals (2.3 spg). Manu Lecomte adds yet another backcourt scoring threat to the roster with his 10.2 ppg. Jekiri isnt much of a scorer (7.9 ppg) but he does lead the conference in rebounding (9.9 rpg). Notre Dame came into the Georgia Tech game shorthanded as starting forward Zach Auguste was ruled out due to an academic matter. Still, the Irish were able to fight their way to a victory, securing the teams best start to a season since the 1978-79 campaign. Five Notre Dame players notched double figures in the win over the Yellow Jackets, led by Jerian Grants 12 points. Steve Vasturia added 11 points, followed by Pat Connaughton, V.J. Beachem and Bonzie Colson, who all chipped in 10. The Irish are one of the nations premier offensive squads, coming into this game averaging 82.1 ppg on an impressive .530 shooting. Auguste was a big part of the offensive equation for Notre Dame though and his 14.3 points per game on a scorching .653 shooting will be missed until his off-the-court issues are resolved. The team will still funnel everything through the do-it-all Grant. The veteran guard is tops on the team in scoring (16.3 ppg) and assists (6.3 rpg), ranking among the nations best in the latter. The scoring pool continues as both Connaughton (14.1 ppg) and Demetrius Jackson (13.8 ppg) have a penchant for filling up the basket as well.

The US Anti-Doping Agency announced that Gays one-year ban began June 23, the day his sample was collected at the U.S. championships. His sanction is subject to appeal by International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF) and by the World Anti-Doping Agency, USADA said Friday. As part of the penalty, Gay, the American record-holder in the 100, also accepted loss of results dating to July 15, 2012, the date of when he first used a product that contained a banned substance. He was a member of the relay team at the London Games that finished second to a Jamaican team anchored by Usain Bolt. The Americans set a national record with a time of 37.04 seconds. Gay has given his medal back to the United States Olympic Committee. USADA said in a statement that upon receiving notification of his positive tests, Gay voluntarily withdrew from all competition prior to the 2013 world championships in Moscow and has not competed since. The 31-year-old Gay couldve been given a penalty twice as long, but received consideration after assisting USADA in the investigation into his positive test. USADA said he tested positive for the presence of an exogenous androgenic anabolic steroid. "We appreciate Tyson doing the right thing by immediately withdrawing from competition once he was notified, accepting responsibility for his decisions, and fully and truthfully co-operating with us in our ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding his case," USADA CEO Travis Tygart said in a statement. Gay was at the top of his game at the 2007 world championships in Osaka, Japan, capturing gold in thee 100, 200 and 400 relay.dddddddddddd That was just before the emergence of Bolt, whos dominated the sprint scene ever since. Meanwhile, Gay has dealt with one injury after another, including strained groins, hamstring tightness and hip surgery. He set the American 100 record in 2009 when he finished in 9.69 seconds. Bolt has the world record at 9.58. Before last season, Gays test results never raised any red flags. He even took part in USADAs "My Victory" program -- in which athletes volunteer for enhanced testing to prove theyre clean. He tested positive out of competition last May. A month later, Gay recorded a positive at the U.S. championships, where he won the 100 and 200 metres, and was notified. He surrendered his spot at worlds. Gay said at the time: "I dont have a sabotage story. I dont have any lies. I dont have anything to say to make this seem like it was a mistake or it was on USADAs hands, someone playing games." In a statement released by USA Track and Field, CEO Max Siegel said the organization is "gravely disappointed any time an athlete uses performance-enhancing drugs, and Tyson Gays case serves as a lesson about the consequences of making poor decisions. We appreciate that Tyson accepted responsibility and has assisted USADA by providing information to help battle the use of PEDs." There are no major international meets in track this summer, but U.S. championships will be held June 26-29 in Sacramento, California. And while Gay could become eligible for that meet, the disqualification of his results dating to 2012 has taken away his qualifying time for the meet. He could petition the track and field committee for consideration, but USATF has said it hasnt received such a petition yet. Gay has until June 16 to enter a petition in order to gain entry into the meet. ' ' '
