Canes stun Hokies, advance to first ACC tourney Semifinals

For the second time in as many days, the 12th-seeded Miami Hurricanes dispatched a top-5-seeded ACC foe, this time with a 70-65 victory over the fourth-seeded Virginia Tech Hokies. In doing so the Miami Hurricanes did what no other Hurricane team has done before - won 2 games in the ACC tournament. After finishing in the basement of the ACC, the baby Canes gave Frank Haith his second 20-win season, certainly a bright spot amongst a once-optimistic season turned sour.

The Hokies maintained a slim lead for most of the second half, but freshman G Durand Scott exploded down the stretch, scoring baskets to keep the Canes even and knocking down clutch free throws to give the Canes the lead for good and to ice the game. Miami did an outstanding job locking down Tech point guard Malcolm Delaney, the leading scorer in the ACC, holding him to 7 points on a dismal 3 of 15 points from the field. Delaney had a chance to give the Hokies the lead in the final minute, but he misfired on a pair of shots inside of 12 feet.

The Canes will take on Duke, who stopped Virginia 57-46 in the first quarterfinal, tomorrow at 1:30 pm in the first ACC Semifinal matchup. The Blue Devils defeated the Canes 81-74 at the BankUnited Center on February 17 in the schools' only meeting this year.

College Baseball 2010 - Starts on Feb 19

A new college baseball season starts today. There are a few interesting series for this weekend. We start with the best series No.3 Virginia @ No.16 East Carolina. The Cavaliers have great hopes for this year. They had a great run at the College World Series back in 2009. This year should be even better for them. This first match should be an indicator to see if last year run was not just a team that got hot late in the season. 

The University of Miami Hurricanes open this season with a home series against Rutgers. The Canes are ranked @ No.12. There are several questions surrounding this team. They lost several offensive weapons from last year. They do get back Eric Erickson who was out all year due to injuries. He starts tonight for the Canes. This would be a good test to see how well he has recovered.

Save Haith and Haiti?


Now THIS is funny - as reported by Manny Navarro of The Miami Herald:

 

One comical side note: UM's sports info office made a tiny mistake when it sent out a press release regarding its Save Haiti campaign. It read: "In future games, the Hurricanes will be sporting a patch on their uniforms in support of Save Haith Saturday..." We know they meant Save Haiti. But it was still funny. UM sent a correction shortly afterward.

Seantrel Henderson

Seantrel Henderson - His coach said the Canes, who will host Henderson and a rather large group of visitors this weekend are definitely in the running. "They're definitely on the short list he's seriously thinking about," Cretin-Derham Hall coach Mike Scanlon said. "He wouldn't be wasting their time if he wasn't."his coach said the Canes, who will host Henderson and a rather large group of visitors this weekend are definitely in the running.

What is Corey Lemonier and James Coley planning for NSD?



I'm hearing that Miami fans will want to punch Coley in the mouth is they do what they're planning on signing day.  Anyone know what that is?  I'm really good at getting pieces of rumors, but not the juicy part.  Apparently, they're looking to diss Miami in some way.  I've always respected FSU under Bowden, but this will not be a good way to start the Jimbo era.  Then again, he is a Saban disciple.

Good News for G-Coop

After Graig Cooper's knee injury in the Champs Sports Bowl, talk was that he would sit out next season, get a redshirt and return to UM in 2011. But Cooper's father, Tino Thomas, said the surgically repaired injury was less serious than feared, doctors are optimistic, and Cooper believes he will be ready to start the 2010 season.

 

``His chances of getting back next season are pretty good,'' said Steven Cohen, who operates on Philadelphia-area pro athletes
