Canes Basketball breaking hearts at ACC tourney…

Posted on by C. Bello

Don’t look now, but the Miami Hurricanes have awoken from their ACC slumber and as a 12th seed have found themselves in a Saturday showdown with top-ranked Duke.

The Canes upset fifth-seed Wake Forest on Thursday, delivered a colossal 83-62 beat down and followed it up with a narrow win over fourth-seed Virginia Tech on Friday, 70-65. Next up, a 1:30pm ET match up with the Blue Devils.

Miami actually held a 37-25 halftime lead against Duke on February 17th, but faded down the stretch when the Devils’ defense clamped down.

From 4-12 in conference during the regular season to 2-0 and in the ACC’s “final four” in the post-season. Kudos to the Canes for showing some fight as the season comes to a close. Most likely NIT-bound, at least they’ve made the past two days exciting.

  1. Haith always says, "If there are games left, we have a chance." Well as far as I know, there are games left and Miami has a chance. These two wins helped the NIT cause and you never know what happens tomorrow.

  2. Its pretty cool! I live right in the middle of Tobacco Road and the local paper (N&O) did a breakdown of what it would take each ACC team to win and for the Canes they said "all the other teams forfeiting"… I thought it was pretty rude!

  3. It has already been determined that Miami has to win out to get into the NCAA Tourmanent.

    So far so good.

    Does anyone actually think that they have even the slightest chance against Duke?

    I'm sorry, but it is not happening.

    Duke has far too much talent.

    Also, it is no coincidence that Coach K was chosen to coach USA basketball.

    The man is a legend.

    Duke will become a dominant force in college football, before Miami ever becomes any kind of threat in college basketball.

    Unfortunately, that's just the way it is.

  4. What you talkin bout, Willis?

    Take your Dookie lovin to non-UM message boards and stay off ours. Duke will never amount to anything in football.

    GO CANES!!!

  7. Martin… It's not exactly rocket science. All that I did was state facts.

    Why is that so hard for you to get?
