Who’s PlayingJacksonville @ Notre DameCurrent Records: Jacksonville 7-3; Notre Dame 7-5What to KnowThe Jacksonville Dolphins will hit the road for the second straight game as they head to Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday. They should still be riding high after a victory, while the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will be looking to right the ship. The stars were brightly shining for Jacksonville in a 66-55 win over the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks last week. Notre Dame lost a heartbreaker to the Florida State Seminoles when they met in March, and they left with a heavy heart again this past Wednesday. The Fighting Irish were just a bucket short of a win and fell 73-72 to FSU. The contest was as close as the oddsmakers predicted, but Notre Dame had been the slight favorite coming in. Notre Dame’s defeat came about despite a quality game from guard JJ Starling, who had 20 points. Jacksonville’s win brought them up to 7-3 while Notre Dame’s loss pulled them down to 7-5.
