Remember all of those years when Wake Forest had some really good basketball teams and seemed to compete for ACC titles almost regularly?

Well unfortunately for the Demon Deacons, this is not one of those years.

Instead it is the consistently improving Miami Hurricane team that is having quite an impressive year under the expert guidance of first year head coach Jim Larranaga.

Miami's record now stands at solid 16-9 with four games remaining on the season which includes an impressive 7-5 Atlantic Coast Conference tally to match.

Today it was F Kenny Kadji and Durand Scott who stepped up as each dropped in 18 points to lead the Hurricanes to a convincing 74-56 victory over the Demon Deacons Saturday afternoon at the BankUnited Center in Coral Gables.





Miami put the game away when they scored 13 unanswered points during a 4:29 span early in the second half. Shane "Not Barry" Larkin nailed a 3-pointer with 11:44 left that ended the run and gave Miami a 56-42 advantage they would not relinquish.

Miami outscored Wake Forest 10-4 in the next 3:31 behind consecutive 3-pointers from Kadji and Garrius Adams for a 64-48 lead. Adams was seeing his first action since coming back from knee surgery on January 19th.

Reggie Johnson hit an easy layup with 5:42 remaining to give the Hurricanes an insurmountable 20-point lead at 70-50 and The Fat Lady could be heard humming loudly as she warmed up right behind the Wake Forest bench.

Next up for the Hurricanes are games at struggling Maryland this Tuesday and then a huge game at home against their rival and rising Florida State on Sunday, February 26.
