The Miami Hurricanes are hoping to rebound after a hard-fought loss at Duke on Saturday. Miami has slowly climbed the ranks and reached the 17th spot in the Top-25 poll. The Hurricanes nearly rallied back on Saturday but fell just short in a 68-66 loss at Duke. It was the first loss in three seasons for the Hurricanes to the Blue Devils. Jordan Miller led the way with a game-high 19 points, scoring 13 points in the back and forth second half. Miller knocked down 3-of-4 from long range in the loss. Miami shot just 34% from the floor overall but did hit on 46% from long range.
“I thought the first half was pretty well played by both teams, and the result was a 38‐38 tie. I thought we got out of character in the second half. We were taking way too many difficult shots, no assists, everything off the bounce, and I think that led to really good defense by Duke’s team and some blocked shots.” said Miami head coach Jim Laranaga after the game.
