Turnovers, fatigue plague Hurricanes men's hoops team in 57-54 loss to Rutgers

Despite having Dewan Hernandez, one of their top players, sidelined to start the season, the Hurricanes have been able to score effectively in their first six games, even in Sunday night’s hard-fought loss to Seton Hall.

Blame it on Rutgers’ defense, Miami’s lack of depth, the cross-country flight home from California where the Hurricanes played in the Wooden Legacy this past weekend or a combination of all three, but on Wednesday, Miami’s offense just wasn’t the same.

The Hurricanes struggled from both the field and 3-point range and despite some late opportunities to tie the game, came up short in a 57-54 loss to Rutgers in an ACC/Big Ten Challenge game at the Watsco Center.
