• Running game focused on production, not individual stats

  Number of comments: 6
  

  CORAL GABLES _ New running backs coach Mike Cassano has heard about the Hurricanes lacking a 1,000-yard rusher.

  It hasn’t happened since Willis McGahee in 2002.

  CORAL GABLES _ `Canes stay in at-large contention with a 74-62 victory against Virginia Tuesday at BankUnited Center.

  They still likely need to win out and probably grab two victories in the ACC tournament to have a realistic shot of making the NCAA Tournament. Anything is possible, and the `Canes should have [...]

  CORAL GABLES _ Say this about UM redshirt freshman Shayon Green: He’s likely to do all of his talking on the field.

  Green, who will start at middle linebacker during the spring, is pretty quiet when it comes to dealing with the media. In his first interview session Tuesday, he offered mostly short [...]

  But too much can take its toll. The UM football program knows that. After having several staff changes under coach Randy Shannon, especially at the coordinator spots, the Hurricanes finally have some stability. When spring practices open Tuesday, it will mark the [...]

• Duke thoughts

  CORAL GABLES _ More heartbreak for the `Canes, but eventually they will win one of these games. Just call it another learning experience. Despite leading by 12 at halftime, Duke simply hit too many 3-pointers and had too many second-chance points. That was the difference in the game. The Hurricanes [...]

• Do the `Canes have any shot at NCAA Tournament?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  CORAL GABLES _ The Hurricanes are pretty much out of chances.

  At 3-8 in the ACC, they need to win at least four of the remaining five games to have a shot of an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament. In 2007, UM overcame a 2-6 league start to make the postseason. It will take [...]
