The Miami Hurricanes women’s basketball team is working to find consistency as four back-to-back losses against No. 20 Duke, Syracuse, UVA and Florida State have exposed recurring issues on both ends of the court.
Miami dropped its fifth straight conference game on Feb. 8, falling 87-70 against the Seminoles in Tallahassee, just days after their 67-56 defeat against UVA. With losses to Syracuse and Duke added to the mix, the Hurricanes showed grit and determination in each game, but prolonged scoring droughts and struggles at the free-throw line ultimately led to their downfall.
Miami was scoreless for the first four minutes of the Florida State game, proving to be a common theme in their recent matches.
