Squaring off against third-ranked Virginia Saturday afternoon at John Paul Jones Arena, the University of Miami men's basketball team posted one of its best defensive efforts of the season, but it was not enough to take down the Cavaliers in a 56-46 defeat.
The Hurricanes (9-12, 1-8 ACC) were led offensively by Chris Lykes (16 points), while the sophomore guard was joined in double figures by redshirt sophomore forward Sam Waardenburg (10 points) and redshirt senior Zach Johnson (10 points). Senior centerEbuka Izundu finished just shy of a double-double, closing out the afternoon with eight points and a game-high 11 rebounds. As a unit, Miami only turned the ball over a season-tying low seven times, while forcing Virginia to cough the ball up 14 times.
In a defensive clash, the Canes limited the Cavaliers to 42.3 percent (22-of-52) shooting from the field and 35.3 percent (6-of-17) from beyond the arc, while Miami shot 17-of-50 (34 percent) overall and just 4-of-21 (19.0 percent) from 3-point territory. The Cavaliers took advantage on the glass, out-rebounding Miami, 42-24.
Virginia (20-1, 8-1) was led by a trio in double figures, including De'Andre Hunter (14 points), Mamadi Diakite (11 points) and Kyle Guy (10 points).
With Miami trailing by five following the opening 5:46 of action, Waardenburg led the Canes on a personal 7-0 run over the next 3:06 of play, as Miami jumped in front, 11-9. However, Virginia countered with a 9-0 run of its own before entering the locker room maintaining a seven-point lead, 28-21, a lead it would not look back on.
The Hurricanes will return to action on Wednesday when they welcome Notre Dame to the Watsco Center at 7 p.m. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN2.
Bogle just tweeted "I love my state". Well, that narrows it down. What time is this attention get'r committing?

Bogle is a clown. Reminds me of Keith Bryant a few years back.

Athlon Sports are forecasting Elam to Da U. That was a say what!
50/50 Richards.
Could it finally happened a signing day Bonanza, say it ain't so.
Posted by: Herbieibis | February 05, 2019 at 01:45 PM
So if we don't get Bogle the season is pretty much over, and every other player on the team is pretty much useless without him on the roster..
Yea I get it.

CGNC,
I was thinking about you the whole time he was whining to us.
Posted by: solarcane | February 05, 2019 at 02:23 PM
After the season we had, the way CMR stepped down and the little time Manolo Diaz had to recruit, Anything we get tomorrow will be a bonus.

Willie Williams is my personal "favorite"! I did chuckle when he was shooting off fire extinguishers on his UF visit, but that whole mess was a Greek tragedy when it was all said and done.
Posted by: Sarasota 'cane | February 05, 2019 at 04:59 PM
I’d love Williams and/or Elam
AND, Braun, Phillips and Hill as well
Bogle would be nice but he’s a me first idiot imo;

Think about it Solar, Willie Williams and the LSU Peach Bowl is when this mess started. That was like 16 years ago.
I'll throw in "I'M A SOLDIER!" for an honorable mention. LOL!

Sorta yep,
How bout 5 star Aldarius Johnson, straight into the shyter after his
Freshman year.
Posted by: solarcane | February 05, 2019 at 07:36 PM
Man, Richt joining ESPN
I hope he sticks to recruiting shows.
Can't wait for him to predict what Miami will call on 2nd and 7
Posted by: solarcane | February 05, 2019 at 07:40 PM
IDK if a list of teams with 5-star busts exists, but if it does I would imagine Miami high on that list. Williams, Wright, Leggett, A. Johnson, Forston, A. Brown, Mc.Means, Youngblood, Armstrong, L. Anderson, Cooper, Howard etc.
The only ones to panned are Duke and Kenny Phillips.

Getting Williams would be huge. Makes up for the several South Florida CB misses we’ve had so far this year

The word from The Herb:
Richards-Auburn
Bogle-Florida
Pickens-Auburn
Emerson-MSU unless Williams changes his mind.
Williams-DA U
Elam-Georgia
Washington-FSU.
Hope I'm very wrong but if I had an upset it would be Elam to us.
Players like Bogle make The Herb puke. The dude is a solid 220 maybe.
Posted by: Herbieibis | February 06, 2019 at 12:09 AM
Solar, Bogle is the wheel. All the other players are just the spokes.

Not upset about Bogle one bit. Kid has been a massive troll and s total flake.
His bust possibilities are very high imo.
