After an offseason unlike any other, the Miami Hurricanes finally returned to the hardwood of the empty Watsco Center for their first game of the 2020-2021 season.
Behind a team-high 20 points from sophomore guard Isaiah Wong, Miami defeated in-state opponent North Florida 77-59 Sunday night.
The Hurricanes jumped out to an early 11-0 lead in the first quarter, but after giving up nine three-point shots to the Osprey in the first half, Miami only led 42-34 at halftime.
“Once we were able to get control of the game early, I thought we relaxed defensively,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said.
