Miami can score points in bunches — the Canes are second behind North Carolina in the ACC at 81.4 points a game. Miami is the ACC leader in field-goal percentage (.489) and 3-point percentage (.387).
Norchad Omier, who did not play against Syracuse, had 18 points and 10 rebounds against Pitt, the junior’s 10th double-double of the season. The Hurricanes are No. 62 in the NET rankings. But Keatts has more on his mind with his team needing to salvage a season that is taking a wrong turn. The Pack, after Miami, has home games with Georgia Tech and Pitt.
Fo the Wolfpack, D.J. Horne has been the team’s leading scorer at 14.8 points a game and its offensive driver this season. The transfer from Arizona State had 27 points in the road win at Louisville and 21 in beating Wake Forest. When he’s on, the Pack has been tough to beat.
D.J. Burns Jr. has not been the offensive threat this season that he was a year ago as ACC teams have adjusted their defensive approaches to the big man.
