The Miami Hurricanes will travel and take on the Pittsburgh Panthers in ACC play from the Petersen Events Center on ESPNU. Miami leads the all-time series, 10-5, after winning the last two meetings.
Miami moved to 16-4 after beating Florida State in Tallahassee. The Hurricanes did not tread lightly on their in-state rivals, and after hanging 54 first half points on the Seminoles, they hung a 23-point loss on them. Miami scores 78.2 points per game, while allowing 69.5 ppg, and shooting 47.8% from the field.
Miami has traded their last six games, and they’ll look to restore some consistency in front of a tough Pittsburgh crowd this weekend. The Canes currently sit at 7-3 in ACC play, so it feels like a return to the Dance is likely. Isaiah Wong leads the charge for a third season in a row for Jim Larranaga’s squad. The junior guard scored 25 points against N.C. State, and he’s leading the Canes in scoring (16.3) and assists (3.7), while grabbing 4.6 rpg. Former GMU guard Jordan Miller has complimented him well, and he’s averaging 14.9 ppg and 5.7 rpg through 20 games. Norchad Omier has been a menace on the glass, and after posting four double-doubles in the last five games, he’s leading the team in rebounding (10.5), while scoring 13.7 ppg. Former KState guard Nijel Pack has hit four or more treys in three straight games, and he’s scoring 12.3 ppg.
