CORAL GABLES, Fla — The Miami Hurricanes are dealing with another home game against a Syracuse team that they can defeat.

Matthew Cleveland has gone six games in a row scoring at least 20 points and looks to continue that streak. The team has grown into a scrappy underdog that will give anyone a fight, and if they have the chance they can steal a game. Not many will get the chance to do that but Miami has the tools to get it done.

Orange guard J.J. Starling will have something to say about the efforts of the Hurricanes. He is averaging 18.2 points this season and is coming off a 28-point explosion against Boston College. With Miami struggling this year guarding guards, it will be another call task to find for the young guard group of the Canes.
