What to Know
The Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes will take on the Dayton Flyers at noon ET on Thursday at HP Field House. Miami (Fla.) will be strutting in after a win while Dayton will be stumbling in from a defeat.
The Hurricanes took their game against the Florida A&M Rattlers on Sunday by a conclusive 86-59 score. The top scorers for Miami (Fla.) were guard Charlie Moore (20 points) and guard Isaiah Wong (19 points). Moore hadn’t helped his team much against the Florida Atlantic Owls last week, so this was a nice turnaround for him. Charlie Moore’s points were the most he has had all season.
Meanwhile, Dayton was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap this past Saturday as they fell 87-81 to the Austin Peay Governors. If the result catches you off guard, it should: Dayton was far and away the favorite. They got double-digit scores from four players: forward Toumani Camara (14), guard Koby Brea (13), center Moulaye Sissoko (12), and guard Kobe Elvis (10).
Dayton’s loss took them down to 1-3 while Miami (Fla.)’s victory pulled them up to 3-1. In their victory, the Hurricanes relied heavily on Moore, who shot 5-for-7 from beyond the arc and finished with 20 points. the Flyers will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
