The Miami Hurricanes had lost one game by more than 4 points since November 28. It was a terrible time for the second one to happen.
The Kansas Jayhawks exploded to life in the second half, outscoring Miami 47-15 on the way to a 76-50 win to claim the Midwest Region. Miami’s season ends at 26-11.
Miami led 35-29 at the break, fueled by a red-hot half from Kameron McGusty, who finished with 18 points. Unfortunately Miami’s worst half of the entire season would follow, with Kansas flexing its muscles inside and heating up from the perimeter.
