The Hurricanes took to the Watsco Center for the first time since losing there in the second round of the NCAA tournament last season, beating the Nova Southeastern Sharks 90-46 in their one and only exhibition game before the regular season starts.
Miami showed their dominance against the smaller Sharks team from opening tip, finishing with 50 more points in the paint and 30 more rebounds. The Sharks started the game on fire, hitting four of nine shots from the three point range in the first quarter. Miami would make some adjustments after the first quarter though, keeping the Sharks at bay and allowing just 2 of 16 from the three point range the rest of the game.
