The Miami Hurricanes (7-5, 0-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) are a team that has shown tremendous promise throughout the early stages of this year’s campaign, but that promise has yet to translate into winning results.
In three contests against top-eight opponents, two of those opponents ranked in the top-five, in which the Hurricanes have lost by a combined 18 points. In each of those contests, Miami was firmly entrenched in the game before faltering down the stretch of the fourth quarter. Add in a two point loss at home vs. Wake Forest, this season has been defined by close losses rather than narrow wins.
