CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Miami coach Jim Larranaga is hoping his team starts the game the way it finished its opener when the No. 13 Hurricanes host Navy on Sunday afternoon in the Watsco Center.
If they play the way they did in the first half of their 77-45 win over Gardner-Webb, the Hurricanes (1-0) could be in for long afternoon.
"Hopefully, we'll be sharper on Sunday," Larranaga said late Friday night after the Hurricanes outscored the Bulldogs 50-22 in the second half after leading only 27-23 at the intermission.
The Midshipmen (1-0) have had only one winning record, a 19-14 mark in 2015-16, over the last eight years and were 16-16 last season.
