The Miami Hurricanes were able to win 65-57 against a Wichita State Shockers team that was determined to continue the Cinderella run in the NCAA Tournament thanks to a fast start. Miami came out storming as they built a 32-19 lead after the first half. Wichita State wouldn’t go away as they opened the second half with a 16-4 run.
The Canes were able to recoup and get a huge win over the Shockers at the Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island.
While Wichita State fought admirably and almost pulled off their second upset of the tournament, their slow start doomed them.
