Live Updates as Miami takes on Stetson Before No. 10 Florida

Final: Miami 102, Stetson 61

Second Half:

This game is long over. The Hurricanes are just having fun with the ball now and playing loose and free.

Shelton Henderson is Anthony Edwards-like (when he first came out). I can't explain it, but his shooting form and the way he attacks the paint are so similar.

Halftime: Miami 55, Stetson 36

First Half:

The Hurricanes' offense is taking off, but the defense is still allowing a few shots and several threes from beyond the arc. There is a lot to like about how Miami adjusted to the zone, but defensively, they need to be sounder.

The Hurricanes are still attacking the paint, but defensively, the Hatters are getting off from behind the three-point line. They have hit seven three in the first half.

Miami is starting to bully inside now. They adjusted to the zone and are starting to play sound defense as well. They are getting out on break and not allowing Stetson to dictate how they play anymore. Miami 30, Stetson 20

After struggling to start the game, the Hurricanes are starting to find their rythm in the paint. Malik Reneau gives himself a run and gives the Hurricanes all the momentum back.

CORAL GABLES — The Miami Hurricanes (2-0) are back in action for another home game before they head to a neutral site to take on the reigning national champions.

That's another game for the Hurricanes to pay attention to once they face the Stetson Hatters in their third game of the season.

The Jai Lucas era has started impressively, but there are still areas for improvement. The Hurricanes played their best game of the season against the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats. Defensively, they were physical and sound, while the offense also started to come along.

Miami's Key Player: Tru Washington

This could have been multiple players from the Hurricanes, but the steal artist for the Hurricanes will draw the matchup against the primary scorer for the Hatters. So far this season, Washington has averaged 3.5 steals in two games and has already reached seven this season. He has also seen improvement in his jumpshot and finishing ability for the Canes. This has been an excellent start to the season for one of the best defensive guards in the country.

Stetson Key Player: Jamie Phillips Jr.

The Hurricanes will have a task against the scoring guard, Phillips Jr. In two games this season, he is averaging 21 points per game, while he also leads the team in rebounding with five. He is the focal point of the offense, and the 6-foot-5 guard can shoot the ball from anywhere. He will be a primary focus for the Canes and the multiple guards who will be on him.
