Miami Loses to Syracuse at the Buzzer, 72-69


The Miami Hurricanes fell to the Syracuse Orange today in Upstate New York, 72-69. Nijel Pack led the Canes with 19 points. Matthew Cleveland had 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assists. J.J. Starling led the Orange with 22 points. Miami falls to 12-6, 3-4 ACC. Syracuse improves to 13-5, 4-3 ACC.

Below are some random thoughts from today’s game.

Yet another tough loss

I promise I’m not bitter, but I wasn’t impressed with Syracuse today. Miami allowed them to get open shot after open shot. The Orange made 12-31 from three-point range. Most of those 12 makes were wide open looks. Starling looked great today because he had great looks at the basket; he wasn’t challenged. The Canes were playing without their best player in Norchad Omier, but they still had a golden opportunity to win the game. This was a game they needed. It would’ve been a huge confidence boost to go into a hostile arena and come away a winner without your top dog. Another opportunity squandered this season for Coach L’s squad.

Miami took too long to wake up today. They should’ve had a lead going into the final minute. Wooga Poplar looked off the entire game. Nijel Pack took too long to get going. Bensley Joseph had a good second half, but shouldn’t have taken the shot on their last possession. It was another frustrating game to watch as a Canes hoops fan. I have a bad feeling 2023-24 might just be the season from hell for this team. After two extremely successful and healthy seasons, Miami is falling hard. We’ll see if they have enough to pick themselves up. There are still a lot of conference games to be played.

Okay, that’s it. I’m bummed the Canes lost..again. Time to enjoy the best weekend in the NFL. The Divisional Round! I’m looking forward to watching the Ravens myself.

GO CANES!

Girl, 12, shot while sitting in parked car in northwest Miami-Dade, deputies say


MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.

“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.

Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.

A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.

They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.

According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.

Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.

“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”

Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.

Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.
