Bear-Busting Bonanza: Miami’s Final Home Rally
The Hurricanes, fresh off a gritty late-night comeback over Stanford, are fine-tuning a new bench lineup featuring freshman sparkplug Dante Allen. Head coach Jim Larrañaga is juggling minutes—26 for Tru, 25 for Allen—hoping to ignite energy between the 12- and 5-minute marks of the first half whenever key scorers Malik, Trey, or Sheldon need a breather. Next up, the California Golden Bears visit Coral Gables in Miami’s last home game before a road swing. A win not only extends their win streak but also cements their push toward the top 25. Tipoff is Saturday at 4:00 p.m. ET on ACC Network, with radio coverage on WQAM 104.3.
Finally, a basketball preview that’s less about who can shoot and more about who can survive Larrañaga’s minute-management madness. It’s like Survivor, but everyone’s wearing matching neon uniforms and complaining about getting subbed out. Dante Allen’s playing superstar “bench spark” despite being a freshman—because, obviously, the bench needed more drama. And we’re all just waiting to see which Golden Bear gets roasted first on the Watsco Center hardwood. March Madness wishes it had this kind of chaos in January.
