The Hurricanes defeated the Florida A&M Rattlers 90-59 on Thursday night to improve to 3-0. All three wins have been come by 30+ points. In today’s college basketball, where upsets seem more common and teams are constantly trying to avoid the “bad loss” on their resume, consistent wins by large margins could be seen as doing as enough during the early season stretch of non-conference games.
Not for Coach Jim Larranaga, though.
“I’m not going to give them [the players] any reason for playing like they did,” said Larranaga, when asked if the team’s sluggishness at times was due to any lack of respect for the opponent.
