Sophomores Isaiah Wong and Anthony Walker combined for 43 points as the Miami Hurricanes men’s basketball team won their final non-conference matchup of the season against Jacksonville, 73-64, on Saturday afternoon at the Watsco Center.
The Hurricanes (4-2, 0-1 ACC) earned their fourth win of the season in part due to the 12-point performance of freshman guard Earl Timberlake, a former four-star recruit who made his UM debut after being sidelined with multiple ankle injuries in the team’s first five games.
Miami dominated Jacksonville (6-3) in rebounding, 49-26, with 19 rebounds on the offensive glass, despite committing 16 turnovers and allowing 30 points in the paint.
