huskeraddict Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 December 4, 2013 8:30pm CT - ESPNU Pinnacle Bank Arena (15,147) - Lincoln, NE Miami Hurricanes 5-3 (Last: W 60-57 vs Arizona State) vs Nebraska Cornhuskers 5-2 (Last: W 63-58 vs Northern Illinois) Head Coaches Miami Jim Larrañaga (524-357, 54-23 at Miami) Nebraska Tim Miles (301-240, 18-20 at Nebraska) Injury Report Miami G - Deandre Burnett - Wrist - Out for season Nebraska G - Nathan Hawkins - Stress fracture - Questionable Scouting Miami Miami visits Pinnacle Bank Arena at the end of the Hurricanes’ longest road trip of the season. The Hurricanes are 5-3 on the season after going 2-1 in the Wooden Legacy in Anaheim. After falling into the consolation bracket with a 71-63 loss to George Washington, the Hurricanes rebounded to beat host Cal State Fullerton (48-46) and Arizona State (60-57) to finish fifth in the tournament. The Hurricanes enjoyed a historic season in 2012-13, going 29-7 and sweeping the ACC regular-season and tournament titles before reaching the Sweet 16. Miami was the first ACC team to win the outright regular-season title and tournament title in the same season since North Carolina in 2008. Head Coach Jim Larrañaga’s squad graduated all five starters and the program’s top six players from last year, and the Hurricanes have been up and down during the early portion of the schedule. UM, which was picked to finish 12th in the ACC, saw a three-game win streak snapped against Central Florida in its final game before the road trip. Of Miami’s eight games in 2013-14, five have been decided by five points or less and another one went into overtime. Senior Rion Brown leads three Hurricanes in double figures, averaging 12.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. Brown was the only returnee who started any games in 2012-13, as he made six starts. Senior guard Garrius Adams adds 11.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.0 steals per night, while Donnavan Kirk, who began his college career at Miami, returned after spending two seasons at DePaul and averages 10.3 points on 55 percent shooting and 7.4 rebounds per game. Larrañaga is 1-2 in his career against Nebraska with all three meetings coming during his tenure at Bowling Green. Nebraska won home matchups during the 1990-91 and 1996-97 seasons, but the Falcons knocked off the Huskers at the Puerto Rico Holiday Classic later in the 1996-97 campaign 3 Quote Link to comment
