The two games that the Miami basketball team did not play in their last seven against a ranked team were at Syracuse two weeks ago and Wednesday’s home victory over Notre Dame. The Hurricanes are 0-5 against ranked teams this season with only a loss a Florida State coming on the road.
Miami won last season’s game at North Carolina on a near-halfcourt shot from Ja’Quan Newton at the buzzer. The Tar Heels had tied the score moments earlier on Joel Barry’s three-point shot. Both players graduated after last season.
This has been a tumultuous season for the Miami basketball team.
