After dropping their last four games, the Hurricanes desperately needed a win, and they managed to sneak away with one Tuesday night.
Behind a balanced scoring attack and dominant first half, Miami built a strong enough lead to defeat the Virginia Tech Hokies 71-61 at the Watsco Center in front of a barely existent crowd.
“We felt like this was a very good team effort with four guys in double figures,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said.
DJ Vasiljevic lead Miami with 18 points, Harlond Beverly followed with 13, Rodney Miller had 11 and Isaiah Wong put up 10.
