Still unranked? Jfc

[TheOriginalCane]

Penalized for early season blowouts. On January 10th it does not matter.

Huh? We lost to UCF by 6 at home. And at a tournament in Orlando, we lost to Dayton by 16 and a Top 10-ranked Alabama by 32.

Outside of the Top 10, nearly everyone has a loss or two that they'd like to have back.




Through one month of the season, Miami was on a path to yet another disappointing campaign, losing three of its first seven games, including a home defeat to UCF, a 16-point loss to Dayton and a 32-point blowout at the hands of Alabama. The offseason buzz about being a potential sleeper in the ACC seemed wide of the mark.

Since the calendar turned to December, though, it's been a different story. The Hurricanes have rattled off nine wins in a row and are off to a 5-0 start in the ACC. While most of the wins during that streak came at home against beatable opponents, they made a statement on Saturday night. Miami went into Durham, North Carolina, and knocked off No. 2 Duke 76-74. The Canes forced 17 turnovers, scored in transition and were consistently aggressive off the dribble, attacking Duke's defense and getting into the paint.

We were picked 12th. Not sure there was any off-season buzz other than Jim may be shown the door after 4 consecutive losing seasons. Charlie Moore and Jordan Miller looked absolutely lost. We lost like one of those very dangerous, very seasoned mid-major teams that do a lot of damage in the NCAA tournament. Sam has fit into his roll very nicely. Getting some good minutes out of Bensley and Wooga. We got decent minutes out of Anthony. Big one tonight.
