The Canes are traveling 8 miles up the highway to the American Airlines Arena to take on Yale in the Miami Hoophall Invitational. Miami will tip-off at 7:30pm ET in the final game of the quadruple-header featuring 2 other NCAA tournament teams (Texas Tech and NC State).
This is the second consecutive season that the Canes will be facing a Ivy-League program at the AAA, as Miami defeated Princeton 80-52 year. The Canes are coming off 2-consecutive losses to Seton Hall and Rutgers by a combined 5 points. Their opponents come into Saturday’s matchup with the 17th ranked scoring offense in the nation, as the Bulldogs have scored 87.8 points per game in their 4 games this season. Yale has eclipsed the 100-point mark twice already, resulting in a 2-2 record. The Canes hope that they can end their losing streak with their own high-powered offense, as they are currently the only ACC team with 5 players averaging in double figures (Chris Lykes 17.7, Anthony Lawrence II 13.7, Zach Johnson 13.6, Dejan Vasiljevic 13.0, Ebuka Izundu 11.4).
