The Miami Hurricanes will start a two-game road trip on Saturday as they travel to take on the Pitt Panthers in a must-win game.

Miami has started to find itself an identity and playing with confidence. Senior guard Matthew Cleveland is leading the way and playing at an All-ACC level scoring 20 or more points in seven straight games. He is starting to become unguardable after another career night against Syracuse.

The Panthers are having a decent season but are riding on a four-game losing streak — something the Hurricane can take advantage of.

Miami is starting to get hot at the right time and with the growth in their young core of Jalil Bethea, Austin Swartz, and Divine Ugochukwu, they will be vital for this game against the Panthers as they try to make the ACC Tournament.
