Canes basketball sweeps the research triangle for the first time ever

A Category 5 Miami Hurricane blew the North Carolina Tar Heels off the court Tuesday night 85-57 at the Watsco Center before a national ESPN audience in a game that might not even have been as close as the lopsided score indicates. Miami shot an impressive 58.06% from the field in the first half - including a blistering 57.14% from three - on the way to a 49-22 lead at the break, the Heels largest halftime deficit since 2010.

Isaiah Wong led the way with 25 points, going 5 of 8 from three. Sam Waardenburg was even better from beyond the arc, hitting 5 of 6 on the way to a career high 21 points.
