Next Up For Duke Basketball: Miami

Next up for Duke is a proud Miami program having a tough season.

Jim Larranaga has made Miami into a reliably tough opponent and one that has given Duke trouble since he took the job in 2011.

Miami has made the post-season every year except for 2013-14 when, you’ll recall, Larranaga lost his top six players. Currently 12-15, Miami will probably not make it this year. That does not mean the ‘Canes are hopeless or a sure bet to lose Saturday. First, they are very well coached. And second, there is some talent in Coral Gables. It’s just that Miami is thin and with limited options.
