PrintMiami Hurricanes at Boston College Eagles, Jan 29, 2012 1:00 PM EST
Miami takes on Boston College, who at 7-13 (2-4), present a potentially winnable game and a chance for the Canes to creep back to .500 in the ACC. With matchups looming against Duke and Maryland, games like this are critical if Miami wants to have any kind of realistic shot of hanging around the middle of the ACC this year. Miami is coming off its best defensive performance of the year Tuesday night in Atlanta, holding the Yellow Jackets to 49 points and moving the ball efficiently on offense with Shane Larkin starting at the point.
Let's see if they can make it two in a row today in Chestnut Hills. Go Canes......

Kadji
carrying us early in this 2nd half.
"Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect."
btw does anyone think / know
if he’s going pro this year?
I would love to him him for a senior season, he’ll be one of the better big men in the ACC
"Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect."
Not sure
So tough to figure out what a guy is thinking, or what scouts make of a player with a breakout season.

his D is very impressive
not just blocking shots, but staying in front of guys
"Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect."
He'll certainly have a chance to show his skills
vs quality big men vs Duke and UNC coming up.

Durand Scott was dominant, especially in 2nd half
We knew he could defend, but he scored really was impressive getting to the basket in 2nd half. Took over the PG position in 2nd half for Larkin.
