CORAL GABLES — With their loss to North Carolina on Saturday, the Hurricanes fell to 2-3, dropping their third consecutive game. It’s the first time Miami has dropped three games in a row since it closed out the 2019 season with losses to FIU, Duke, and Louisiana Tech.
The three-point defeat puts the Hurricanes at a pivotal point in the season. Five games into his tenure as Miami’s head coach, Mario Cristobal is trying to establish a culture where UM recovers for a successful second half of the season instead of going into a tailspin during conference play.
