Miami Hurricanes men’s basketball coach Jim Larrañaga’s response to a simple “How are you?” to open his Friday web conference with reporters was a telling one.
That’s been the case for much of the 2020-21 UM season, with the team 7-12 and 3-11 in ACC play heading into Saturday’s noon tip against Georgia Tech at Watsco Center.
A Hurricanes’ season that began with promise has been derailed by injuries — forward Sam Waardenburg out for season from the start, guard Chris Lykes yet to return since injuring his ankle two games in, center Rodney Miller out for season five games in and freshman guard/forward Earl Timberlake only getting seven games under him before being ruled out for the year.
