Canes Hoops Recap: Resurgence leads to 80-74 victory over rival FSU

“You can see the electricity he brings to the game,” said Jim Larranaga about Chris Lykes after Miami’s 80-74 win over the Florida State Seminoles.

And after taking heavy criticism following a bad loss to Georgia Tech the other night, Chris Lykes had his best game as a Miami Hurricane, scoring 18 points off the bench, his high as a Cane.

Dewan Huell and Bruce Brown added 20 and 23 points respectively.

But the story of the game was Lykes, who had a career game. FSU’s size may have been a concern, especially against a 5’8’’ Lykes, but the young man who Larranaga compared to Michael Jordan played his best game in the biggest game so far, shooting 50 percent from the field and from three.
