In Wednesday’s ACC play, Miami beat Pitt handily, 85-64.
This one was all Miami, with the ‘Canes shooting out to a 14-2 lead and hitting 55 percent from the floor.
Pitt shot well at 48 percent, but 20 turnovers makes life hard.
Like a lot of teams, Pitt sent John Hugley right at Miami’s soft middle and he shot 7-9 for 20 points and had seven boards too.
For Miami, it keeps NCAA hopes alive. They’re certainly not projected as a high seed and aren’t likely to go very far, but with a solid backcourt they would have a chance at a few wins.
