Thursday morning the Miami Hurricanes welcomed thousands of local elementary school students for their 74-41 Education Day victory over the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats.
Despite some struggles in the early goings of the game, the ‘Canes defense took center stage in what went on to be a dominant victory.
Miami kicked off the first quarter with a 6-0 run, having the offense flow through the paint with senior center Ra Shaya Kyle, who would end the first half with 10 points.
However, Bethune would quickly answer back through its work on the offensive glass. The Wildcats slowly pulled their way back in, getting the game within four.
