The freshmen and the bench came up big-time for the 25th-ranked University of Miami in Wednesday’s 87-81 home win over Wake Forest. Five Takeaways...
1. Senior guard JaQuan Newton says he doesn’t mind coming off the bench. In fact, he says he kind of likes it. As electrifying freshman Chris Lykes seems to be settling into his role as starting point guard, Newton has been providing a spark off the bench. Against Wake Forest, he went 6-of-12 for 16 points in 28 minutes. His aggressive moves to the basket got him to the free throw line six times.
