North Alabama vs. No. 17 Miami: Game Central, Rundown, Live Updates, Analysis
In this story:
No. 17 Miami is starting to find itself with a couple more games under its belt. The energy is there to start games now after the letdown of starting the season against No. 1 Florida.
After defeating Wagner and North Florida, the Hurricanes turn their attention to North Alabama and the challenges they bring. They have star-level scoring on their roster that can push an SEC team to a close game and have started their season 2-1. There are plenty of warning shots that could happen starting this game before the Canes settle in.
Furthermore, after UNF, the Hurricanes have a very good team. The issues that need to be fixed are shooting from beyond the arc and pushing the ball in the half-court.
Shelton Henderson continues to get better game after game, as does Malik Reneau.
Live Updates:
This will be updated throughout the game.
Latest Injury News
The only issue the Hurricanes have right now is the injury concern for DeSean Goode. He isn't on an injury report and is getting garbage-time minutes, but Jai Lucas said after the Ospreys game that he was coming back from an injury during the summer, and they are still keeping him on a short leash to monitor.
Every other Cane is healthy, however.
