Davon Reed remembers the excitement, the standing-room only crowds, the fun.
As a high school prospect being recruited by the Hurricanes, Reed experienced what it was like to watch Miami's last ACC championship team play during that magical 2012-13 men's basketball season that featured Shane Larkin, Kenny Kadji, Durand Scott and Julian Gamble. He felt the power of a sold-out BankUnited Center.
Now, as Reed prepares for his junior season at Miami, the expectation is that once again the Hurricanes can contend for a conference title and make a deep postseason run.
They return a core of experienced players, including four starters from the team that made a run to the NIT Championship Game last March.
