According to ESPN App
Following Miami’s 74-68 win Saturday at Boston College Head Coach Jai Lucas shared his thoughts by saying One, it's always a tough place to play, and they play a lot better at home," said Lucas of the Eagles' 8-4 home record. "They've had some momentum where they've been playing well if you watched them, first half against Virginia, some of their wins. They're big, they're physical, they play hard, they compete. It's not a team that's playing to whatever their record is.
"I haven't even looked at their record. But it's another tough road game in ACC and that's why the league is so good this year because anybody can go anywhere and can get beat. If you looked at some of the games, some of the teams get some wins. You had a tough game with Virginia at Notre Dame, Virginia at Boston College, all these games are tough."
"So with them, just their size, they're shooting, they have an all-conference caliber guard in (Donald) Hand who's capable of getting 30 and also the transfer they have now (Fred) Payne, who's able to kind of create his own shot and go off in the game," Lucas said.
"They have a lot of weapons. Earl (Grant)'s a great coach. He runs good stuff, really good stuff and he puts you in a lot of predicaments. So we've just got to do our job. We've got to get healthy. We've got to make sure we clean up some of this details and then go up there and compete."
