In their last game against Stonehill Skyhawks, the Hurricanes dominated with an impressive 97 points on home turf. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot 49 percent from the field and an exceptional 38 percent from beyond the arc. The team also excelled in rebounding, grabbing 52 boards, which included a significant number of offensive rebounds that led to 24 second-chance points.

Another notable performance came against La Salle Explorers where Miami secured an 84-point victory. They maintained high efficiency in shooting with a field goal percentage of 52 and were particularly dominant in paint scoring with 48 points.

However, it's important to note that not all recent games have gone Miami's way. Against Colorado Buffaloes, despite being ranked higher at that time (15th), they fell short by scoring only 63 points compared to Colorado's commanding 90 points. Turnovers were a concern as well; they committed twenty turnovers which translated into lost opportunities and allowed Colorado to capitalize on those mistakes.

The upcoming game will test whether Miami can maintain its strong shooting percentages and control over turnovers while facing off against North Carolina's formidable squad. Rebounding will also play a critical role; if Miami can dominate on both ends of the floor as they did against Stonehill, it could very well tilt the game in their favor.

Fans should expect an intense battle where execution and consistency will be key for Miami if they aim to continue their winning ways at home.

The showdown is scheduled for February 10th at Watsco Center starting at 9:00 PM local time. For those unable to attend in person, you can catch all the action live on ESPN Networks.
