After beating Boston College by 15 points just a day earlier, ‘Canes women’s basketball lost by 26 to No. 8 Virginia Tech, 68-42, at the Greensboro (NC) Coliseum on Friday night in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals.

Catcher Carlos Perez propelled Miami to a dominant 6-0 win at Mark Light Field Saturday night against Dartmouth. This is Miami’s sixth straight win after losing its first game of the season against Penn State.

Even with a dominant performance from Miami women's basketball forward Destiny Harden, the ‘Canes came up short in their match against Syracuse on Sunday at the JMA Wireless Dome, 77-68.

“That was one heck of a game,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said. “We scored the ball very efficiently.”

Miami men's basketball stopped a Clemson comeback attempt to leave South Carolina with a 78-74 win against the top team in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) at Littlejohn Coliseum on Saturday afternoon.

“I feel like if I had shot it from half-court, I could have messed around and made it,” Pack said. “My teammates believed in any shot I took.”

The Hurricanes average just under 78 points per game, which is third best in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and top 40 in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Everyone knows players like Isaiah Wong, Nijel Pack and Jordan Miller are critical contributors to Miami’s offense. However, there is one often overlooked player just as instrumental in the ‘Canes success — guard Harlond Beverly.

“We played very well in the first half,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said. “We led almost until the bitter end, [but then Pittsburgh] came back and made some big plays, and we obviously weren’t able to hold on to the lead. [The Panthers] deserve all the credit.”

Now, the ‘Canes (15-3, 6-2 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC)) are returning to Cameron Indoor Stadium on Saturday to take on the Duke Blue Devils (13-5, 4-3 ACC) for the first time since their upset win last season.

“We do a really good job of sharing the ball,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said. “We were terrific on offense. We had a great night shooting tonight.”
