This was supposed to be Miami’s (6-8, 2-7) bounce back year. After a 12-26 journey through the ACC the past two seasons, this year was looking up. Outside of North Carolina and Duke they had the most blue chip recruits in the conference. They had a senior back court.
And then injuries hit. In their last game they had just seven scholarship players available. It’s a talented group of seven (5 are blue chippers, compared to 3 for FSU), but they’re still limited.
With senior Chris Lykes out, they’ve been led by sophomore Isaiah Wong (6-3, 180), who is scoring 17.
