Canes Basketball breaking hearts at ACC tourney…

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.
