Miami men’s basketball thrived in the second half of Friday night’s game against UNC Greensboro, winning 79-65 at the Watsco Center. The 46 points in the second half are the most Miami has scored in one half since defeating Auburn in the NCAA Tournament last season.
“We needed a much better second half on both ends [of the floor], and we got it,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said to reporters after the game. “We played extremely well.”
In the first, the Hurricanes (2-0) were not clinking offensively. 10 turnovers by Miami yielded 15 points for the Spartans (1-0), resulting in a 34-33 halftime lead for the away team.
