Canes Hoops stopped the bleeding early in their ACC schedule by taking down Florida State 80-74. The Canes were led by strong performances by Bruce Brown Jr. (23 points) and Dewan Huell (20 points, 8 rebounds), but what everyone was talking about after this game was the breakout performance of freshman guard Chris Lykes, whose 18 points off the bench put the game out of reach early and continued to steal the momentum from the Noles throughout the contest.
Lykes isn't usually regarded as even the top freshman in Miami's lineup, thanks to the presence of Lonnie Walker IV, who made his second start of the season on Sunday.
