Miami Basketball Slices Through UTRGV Like a Hot Knife Through Butter; Win 86-59

The 'Canes opened their season on Friday the 13th. Usually, this date is reserved for superstition, elves and other creatures of magic . . . and of course: slasher movies. Fortunately, the only victims tonight were the Vaqueros of UT - Rio Grande Valley. It wasn't death of any kind, whether by butcher knife or pitchfork - but by points on the scoreboard.

The 'Canes open the season expected to win this one, just as Jason expects to chase down his victims no matter how slow he plods through the forest. Even without Kamari Murphy (suspended for 3 games due to the violation of team rules) Miami used superior size and athleticism to open up a can of you know what on you know who.
