Canes Play "Horribly" in Win

Last night the Miami Hurricanes basketball team remained undefeated with an easy cakewalk win over North Florida 85-63. Jack McClinton and Dwayne Collins led all scorers with 13 apiece. In fact, just about everyone who played solid minutes for Miami hit double figures in scoring. This team is time and again proving that it is a team. Rarely do you see anyone above 15 points, but you see a bunch of players scoring between 9 and 14. That's going to make this team tough to beat with so many options offensively, though having a proven scoring option is also something you need in crunch time.

Despite the easy victory, Frank Haith was not pleased. He called last night the Canes "worst performance" yet. The game wasn't televised so theres not much I can say to verify that statement, but I was a bit concerned that after breaking a 23 point halftime lead, the Canes let North Florida play with them stride for stride in the 2nd half. Regardless, I think it's a great thing if your coach is ripping into you after a 22 point victory. It shows this team is better than that and is capable of great things, and that Frank Haith is intent on keeping his team focused through all their success.
