Third-year sophomore guard Isaiah Wong scored a game-high 40 points, redshirt senior guards Kameron McGusty and Charlie Moore combined for 47 points, and the Miami Hurricanes defeated Division II school Nova Southeastern 106-95 on Wednesday.
Nova Southeastern started the game with intensity, drawing a couple of loose balls against UM’s backcourt. Breaking the full court pressure, the Hurricanes shot 60% inside the first six minutes, highlighted by back-to-back 3-pointers from Wong.
“I know it would be great preparation for us,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said. “They exposed a lot of our weaknesses, things we can work on heading into the regular season … A lot of the turnovers were careless errors, not bad plays but bad effort.
