Even with home-court advantage, Hurricanes wary of NCAA rematch against Florida Gulf Coast

Khaila Prather can still remember the frustration, how helpless she felt two years ago sitting on the bench as Florida Gulf Coast drilled 3-pointer after 3-pointer while trying to upset her Hurricanes in the NCAA Tournament.

Prather, sidelined by an injury, could do little more than encourage her teammates as Miami held off a late surge from the Eagles before the Hurricanes escaped with a 62-60 win that sent them to the tournament's second round.

The Hurricanes’ run ended two days later when another sharp-shooting team — Quinnipiac — upset Miami by again using the 3-point shot to its advantage.
