MEN'S BASKETBALL ND comes up short in Big East tourney to Miami

By BRIAN KESSLER Sports Editor

NEW YORK The third time wasn't a charm for the Irish Thursday night, as Notre Dame dropped a 61-58 contest to Miami at Madison Square Garden in the quarterfi­ nals of the Big East tournament. The Hurricanes have now beaten the Irish three times this season and will move on to play St. John's in the semifinals tonight. With 18.8 seconds left in the game, Notre Dame found itself in a familiar situation, and came away with a similar result. Two weeks ago at Miami, the Irish needed a 3- pointer in the closing seconds to send the game to overtime. Troy Murphy's shot l rimmed out. Thursday night, Notre Dame r needed a two-point basket for the win. Once again, Murphy's shot rimmed out. "When Troy goes up, I think it's in," first­ year head coach Matt Doherty said. "You've got your best player taking an rr open shot. Granted it's a 3-point shot, but ~ he is one of our best 3-point shooters. •I [When it misses] you think foul. Well that's what I'm thinking at the same time your gut gets ripped out." I But the Irish weren't able to get the foul. Following the miss, Miami point guard r#- Vernon Jennings secured the rebound and 1 fired a quick outlet pass to Elton Tyler who slammed it home with 0.8 seconds left. "I was trying to finish the play," Tyler said. "We have a great defense, so after that, I knew we were going to get a stop on something like that." Harold Swanagan's ensuing inbounds pass was batted down by Tyler and the Irish were sent packing. Miami jumped out to a 23-16 lead with 9:21 left in the first half, but Notre Dame battled back and a thunderous slam dunk by Swanagan tied the game at 28. The Hurricanes clung to a slim three-point margin at the break. "In the second half we knew we had to come out and play harder because we felt they outplayed us in the first half even though the score didn't indicate that," Jennings said. "In the second half, we came out, stepped up our pressure and tried to LIZ LANGfThs Observer Troy Murphy scrambles from defenders in a recent game.
