PrintMiami Hurricanes at Duke Blue Devils, Feb 5, 2012 3:00 PM EST
Huge opportunity today for Miami, as they take on the Blue Devils and the Cameron Indoor jazz-handers this afternoon. The Canes haven't beaten Duke since Feb 2008 at the BUC, when they went on to make the NCAA tourney.
That's no accident. Miami sits at 4-3 in the ACC, but at the end of the day, you need a marquee win or two, and Miami doesn't have one so far this year. They'll have several chances down the stretch, and this is the first and likely most improbable opportunity.
Kenny Kadji will return today from a head injury that kept him out of Wednesday's victory vs Maryland, and will be key with Reggie Johnson to try to keep the surging Plumlees from dominating down low. It will also be interesting to see what Miami does against Rivers. As good defensively as Shane Larkin and Durand Scott have been recently, they can't guard him one-on-one consistently.
Go Canes....

Amazing Win.
This really reminds me of that 2008 season. Lets go Canes.

going forward
i still feel like we need one more marquee win (we get 2 tries against fsu and one against unc). i think we probably lose a game we should win (the nature of acc play). that would put as at 10-6 in the acc and 19-10 overall. 2 or 3 wins in the acc tourney and i think (not sure) that could get us in the tourney.
