SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Luke Harangody scored four of his 22 points and had a blocked shot during a decisive 10-point run to lead Notre Dame to a 70-64 victory over Alabama-Birmingham in the first round of the NIT Tuesday night.
Harangody's basket inside gave the Irish (19-14) a 60-50 lead. Robert Vaden, who led UAB (22-12) with 24 points, hit back-to-back 3s to cut the lead to 60-56 with 3:50 left. But a three-point play by Harangody ended the run.
Harangody gave the Irish a 56-50 lead on a dunk, then blocked a shot inside by UAB's Paul Delaney III. UAB coach Mike Davis was called for a technical for leaving the coach's box while arguing that Delaney was fouled.
The Irish play the winner of the New Mexico-Nebraska game.
