The Hurricanes dropped yet another hard-fought game to a talented conference foe this Saturday, falling 85-76 at the hands of No. 13 North Carolina.
Miami (9-8, 1-4 ACC) plummeted to the bottom of the Atlantic Coast Conference standings and the absence of junior forward Dewan Hernandez became as evident as ever.
With Hernandez sidelined because of questions surrounding his eligibility, the Hurricanes are limited to just seven healthy scholarship players.
“There are a lot of really great players in this league, and some Hall of Fame coaches coaching them,” UM coach Jim Larrañaga said after the North Carolina game.
