The University of Miami Hurricanes men's basketball team has had a woefully disastrous season. Mercifully, they play their final regular season game this Saturday against the NC State Wolf Pack.  

While the Canes are in dead last place in the ACC with a 2-17 conference record, the Wolf Pack hasn't been much better, they're just two spots out of the basement with a 5-14 record in the ACC. The silver lining for Miami is that NC State is 0-10 on the road this season, which means the Hurricanes should have a decent shot of winning their season finale.

While this game doesn't mean anything as far as season standings or tournament implications, however, it is still the last home game for a handful of seniors who gave their blood, sweat, and tears for Hurricanes' basketball who deserve the support and recognition from their home crowd one last time even if their senior season didn't go as they hoped it would.
