MBB Takes 73-69 Thriller in Foreign Tour Opener - University of Miami Athletics
The Miami men's basketball team recorded a 73-69 triumph over Stella Azzurra Academy Monday night at Arena Altero Felici in the first game of its trip to Italy.hurricanesports.com
After the Hurricanes extended their lead to 20, they conceded a 19-6 run to cap the third period and their cushion sat at seven, 55-48, with 10 minutes to play. The Sharks, who featured Khadeem Lattin, a starter on Oklahoma's 2016 Final Four team, pushed their run to 31-8, including scoring the first seven points of the final session, and took a 60-57 edge with 6:44 to play.
The late surge came despite being down to six players, as two (freshman guard Harlond Beverly and junior guard Chris Lykes) fouled out and another (redshirt junior center Rodney Miller, Jr.) missed the final quarter with cramps.
Benefit of the doubt on the cramps. Gym air conditioned? My guess is no. 8 points might be a couple weeks' output in the ACC for him.Miller with a new way to stay off of the court.
Good to have confirmation that McGusty hasn't been kicked off the team....at least not yet. Not so good to see that Rodney's conditioning hasn't held up through 1 preseason game.
I love Lykes and that was a sick move but sometimes he tends to over dribble, causing him to force a bad shot or turn it over.
Rodney Miller 8 and 7 in 17 minutes. Not to shabby.
Final Four guards but the bigs will get a coach fired. I still think Miami is an NCAA tournament team.

1. Don't know, don't care.What was the tallest person on the other team?
What is the quality of the competition?
Why was he cramping and unable to play at the end of the game?
Worst of all he might just prove serviceable. Can't have that after all the noise you been talking. LOL!!What was the tallest person on the other team?
