In their last game against Stonehill Skyhawks, Miami (FL) dominated with a resounding 97-59 victory. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot an impressive 49 percent from the field and 39 percent from beyond the arc. The team also excelled in rebounding, grabbing 52 boards compared to Stonehill's 27. This rebounding advantage contributed significantly to their second-chance points tally of 24.


However, it wasn't just offense where Miami shone; defensively they managed ten steals and four blocks, showcasing their ability to disrupt opponents' plays. Their assist-to-turnover ratio stood at an excellent 2.17, reflecting efficient ball movement and decision-making.


The previous game against La Salle Explorers also ended in favor of the Hurricanes with an 84-77 scoreline. They maintained high shooting efficiency with a field goal percentage of approximately 52 percent and were particularly dominant in points in paint totaling at 48.


Despite these strong showings, it's worth noting that there was a stumble against Colorado Buffaloes where Miami (FL) lost by a margin of nearly thirty points - scoring only 63 compared to Colorado's high-scoring offense which put up ninety points.


The upcoming game is set for January 27th at Watsco Center located in Coral Gables, FL – home turf for the Hurricanes which could provide them with an additional edge due to familiar surroundings and fan support. Fans can catch this anticipated face-off live on The CW network starting at seven fifteen PM Eastern Time.
