The Hurricanes have shown a mixed bag of results in recent games, and this upcoming matchup is an opportunity for them to solidify their standing.

They also capitalized on turnovers scoring 26 points off them while maintaining control of rebounds with a total of 45.
Against Notre Dame Fighting Irish, it was another win for Miami but by a narrower margin – finishing at 62-49. Their shooting percentages were lower than desired but still managed to outperform Notre Dame across both halves.
The Watsco Center has been kind to Miami (FL) Hurricanes this season; however, consistency remains key for them moving forward.
