Hurricanes Ground Eagles

Rion Brown became the 35th member of Miami's 1,000 point club, scoring 22 points in a 69-42 win over visiting Boston College Saturday afternoon.

Brown shot 8 of 14 from the field and made four 3-pointers for Miami (14-13, 5-9 Atlantic Coast Conference). Erik Swoope tied a career high with 14 point, while Manu Lecomte and Garrius Adams had 11 and 10 points, respectively.

The Hurricanes opened the second half with a 14-6 spurt and increased a five-point halftime advantage to 13 for their first double-digit lead. Brown's jumper capped the early second half surge and gave Miami a 41-28 lead.

Patrick Heckmann scored 15 points but was held to two points in the second half for Boston College (7-20, 3-11).

Starting 5: Garrius Adams, Rion Brown, Erik Swoope, Raphael Akpejiori, Donnavan Kirk. Miami’s first points came at the 18:35 mark on a Donnavan Kirk free throw. The Canes shot 47 percent from the field and 50 percent from behind the arc.

Rion Brown’s 22 points against Boston College pushed him into the 1,000 point club. Only 34 previous Canes have scored at least 1,000 points for UM, including Durand Scott and Reggie Johnson from last year’s team, and Malcolm Grant from Coach L’s first season at the U. 

Rion Brown scored in double-figures (22) for the ninth straight game and 21st time this season. Rion Brown has also hit multiple threes in nine-straight games, connecting on four against Boston College.

With four 3-pointers against Boston College, Rion Brown is currently No. 9 on Miami’s all-time list of 3-point shots made in a career. His 167 trail No. 8 Kevin Presto (170). Jack McClinton holds the record with 286 made from distance.

Erik Swoope tied his scoring season high with 14 points Saturday. It’s the second time the senior has scored in double figures this season and first time since 1/8/14 against North Carolina.

Garrius Adams scored in double-figures (10) for the eighth straight game and 16th time this season. Manu Lecomte has recorded an assist in 13 straight games (33 during the stretch).

I don't understand these college baseball teams playing MLB teams... Is it to make the college team look bad, or to make the MLB team look bad?

Does the MLB team actually try? If so, how awful do they look when/if it's a close game or they lose?

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

I don't get it either O_C. It seems like a stupid way for a college kid to get injured.

[RCCF]

College vs. MLB seems like a major NCAA infraction the NCAA should investigate themselves for stupidity.. if NFL players train with theU kids we'd have to report that tho correct? if the HEAT players were tutoring or scrimmaging the the CANES that would be an issue Im sure.. the NCAA and their rules I swea4moses are the Worst..

In case you hadn't noticed, nobody, and in mean nobody, takes the NCAA seriously anymore, as far as college football goes.

Our administration has to do the song and dance, play along, especially when it comes to football, because of our recent history. We'll say all the right things, fill out all the right paperwork, but at this point it's all just bureaucracy.

They have no bite. The SEC bends over the NCAA on a regular basis.

The Petrino hire makes the NCAA a BIGGER! joke. A guy can cheat on His wife, lie about an accident involving His mistress, and then turn around and a get an annual contract worth $3.5M...but a kid takes a free meal, and He's kicked outta school. Talk about a plantation mentality.

[UMike]

lol Da U... I use to be cool with some Zoe's before they became Zoe Pound. But since I was close with them boys from Washington Park, and since I was white lol...Zoe aint like me. Ahhh... those were the days lol.. Officer Jody and the gang unit from JFK ALWAYS stoping us and taking out pictures and saying "if thers 3 or more of you... its a gang" lol

TokenCane on CIS:

Al Golden as a man
I was working in the JMH/UM hospital area today and came across a bunch of Canes coming to see JoJo today and I left fairly late and I looked to my left while sitting at the light at 12th ave and I see Al Golden walking around. I call him over since we know each other and his eyes were bloodshot red obviously from crying. We spoke about JoJo and he told me he just passed and that he needed to go get some fresh air and went for a walk. The emotion this man spoke with about JoJo and that every player is like a son to him was what a parent wants from a coach for their son.

We spoke for about 5 minutes and parted ways but I then thought about when Malcolm Lewis was injured and there is not a doubt in my mind that this man truly cares for each and everyone one of his players. Im happy to know this is the kind of man that is leading my team.

[CaneRock]

Just sad man, I really thought JoJo would pull through.

[SOUP]

NEW BLOG IS UP. JUST SAD...
