Less than a week after a season-worst 27-point loss to Georgia Tech, the Miami Hurricanes suffered a nearly equally devastating defeat, this time to in-state rival Florida State.
In front of a minute crowd of mostly Florida State parents and families, Miami (7-14, 3-13 ACC) fell 88-71 at the Watsco Center. With a combination of having just six scholarship players available and a lack of ball movement, turnovers and poor defense, the Hurricanes could not keep up with the No. 11 ranked Seminoles.
“We are just worn out and that was a Florida State team that is talented as any team in the country,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said.
