University of Miami coach Jim Larranaga did his best Muhammad Ali impression, senior Julian Gamble photo-bombed yet another television interview, and the Canes rolled past Illinois on Sunday, 63-59, to reach the Sweet Sixteen. The Canes’ second-round game against the Pacific Tigers two days prior was essentially over by halftime – Miami led 40-19 at...

        The 2013 season has undoubtedly been a dream come true for the Miami Hurricanes. It’s a fairytale ride that not even Jim Larranaga, a noted believer in visualizing one’s goals, probably could have imagined. But the team is still six wins away from its ultimate goal. The Canes have departed for...

        (Photos by Zach Beeker and Nick Gangemi) The Hurricanes have survived their share of dramatic endings this season, clinching last-second victories at N.C. State and Clemson. But Tuesday night’s narrow home win over Virginia might have raised the bar even higher. The second-ranked Canes pulled out a 54-50 victory to move...

  After a tough loss to Florida State last week, the Hurricanes were able to redeem themselves Sunday afternoon, winning a physical home game against Boston College 79-54 to move to 17-8 (8-6 ACC).

After a dominant performance against the No. 1 ranked Duke Blue Devils on Wednesday night, the Canes were able to pick up right where they left off on Sunday in front of yet another sold-out crowd in the BankUnited Center en route to a 71-47 victory over the visiting Florida State Seminoles. With the win...

It certainly wasn’t pretty Sunday night at the Bank United Center when Miami (12-3, 3-0) beat Maryland 54-47 to improve their ACC record to 3-0, but in the end the Hurricanes came through and the reward was the best start to league play since Miami joined the ACC in 2004-05.

In their first meeting ever, the two schools went toe-to-toe with each other in the first half with the Canes shooting 45.8 percent from the field and the Spartans 44.8 percent while both teams shot 50 percent from beyond the arc. With Michigan State using its size inside, outscoring Miami 16-6 in the paint, it...

It was a tale of two halves Friday night in the Bank United Center when the Hurricanes opened up their season with an 87-79 victory over the Stetson Hatters.

After a 20 win season and a winning record in the Atlantic Coast Conference (9-7) for the first time ever, expectations are sky-high in Coral Gables as the men’s basketball team is hours away from opening up its 2012-13 campaign against Stetson University on Friday at 5:30 p.m. in the Bank United Center.

The results were disappointing for players, coaches and ‘Canes fans when the visiting Lions, a Division II team located about 45 minutes north of Tampa, beat UM 69-67 in front of 2282 in attendance Friday night at the Bank United Center.
