Miami Routs No. 16 Utah

In a battle between two unbeatens, Miami will be the team left standing.

Allen, who averaged 27 points in the Blue Devils’ first two games of the season, was held to six points on 2-for-11 shooting by No. 2 Kentucky on Tuesday night in the Champions Classic.

Tonye Jekiri accounted for eight points and seven rebounds, finishing with 12 and 12, and backup point guard Ja’Quan Newton scored eight of his 17 and dished out three assists during the first stanza. The Canes had crushed Mississippi St. 105-79 in the opener and then cruised past No. 16 Utah 90-66 on Friday. The games were on ESPN2, so UM raised its national profile and caught the attention of pollsters. Not only have the unbeaten Hurricanes accomplished enough to deserve a spot in the AP Top 25 when it’s released anew Monday morning, it would also be a travesty if they don’t debut somewhere in the top 15.

Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott says he has played his last home game for the Buckeyes and strongly criticized the coaching staff after a 17-14 loss to No. 9 MI State. We’ve won twice in Chapel Hill, North Carolina against the Tar Heels.

The defender’s goal in second-half stoppage time of Portland’s playoff game against FC Dallas marked the first time he had found the net during the postseason in 12 years and 18 days, setting a new record for longest time in between playoff goals.

This game will be the first meeting for Miami (FL) and Butler in recent seasons. He also had a steal, an assist and a block. They shot 55 percent before halftime and made 13 of 23 3-pointers for the game, posting an nearly better percentage than they managed from the foul line (11 of 19). And the frustration finally boiled over for coach Larry Krystkowiak, who picked up a quick technical foul after springing up to protest a no-call on Jakob Poeltl’s drive with 13:32 left. “I mean, we could feel it. Everybody’s had that type of moment in their life where something wasn’t good at the place before”. Now let’s see how far up this talented team can go?

“Like I said before, we tried to do things the right way up there, ” he said. Offensively, they average 103.7 points per game, which is good for second in the country. No one could imagine that we could do that but with the help of a great coaching staff and a terrific group of young men – players who really have elevated this program – we’re gonna do something for the first time in school history and we’re really proud of that. I like when we get out in the open court, because we have so many weapons. “When we’re out there, we just execute what they want us to do”. “We played very hard from start to finish”.

Although I continue to believe Butler will ultimately take home a “W” against the Hurricanes, it’s not going to come easily by any means.

The Bulldogs will take Thanksgiving off before returning to action Saturday, November 28 to take on Southern IL University-Edwardsville at Hinkle Fieldhouse at 5 p.m.
