The University of Miami Men's Basketball Team moves to an impressive 6-0 start with a recent home victory over Alabama State, 83-74. As a senior at UM, coming off of a horrendous four and out season from out football team, I am very pleased that I finally have something to cheer about.
The team is looking pretty good this year with their returning leading scorer, Jack McClinton. Last year he ended his season by averaging 44.0 percent from the three point line, ranked first in the ACC in three point percentage. Jack Bio. In his first four starts this season he has averaged 14.3 points per game while shotting 57.1 percent from behind the arc. Unfortunately, McClinton has been on the bench for the last two games because of an injury to his thumb.
Another exciting retuning player this season, is fifth year senior, Anthony King. King missed the last 24 games of the 2007 season with a wrist injury.
He started 8-of-8 games played, averaging 7.9 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. King was leading the ACC in rebounding prior his season-ending injury. He scored seven or more points in five of the eight games he played and recorded double-digit rebounds in all but three of those games. Lastly, King scored a season-high 19 points with 15 rebounds and four blocks in the season-opener against Florida International (11/11).This Miami team brings their record to 6-0 for only the fifth time in program history. It is the best start for us since the 2001-2002 season when we won 14 straight. Just recently Fox Sports ranked Miami in the top 25. Fox Sports.
The next game for the Hurricanes in on Sunday, December 2nd at 4 p.m. They are going to be playing against their former Big East rival, St. Johns. This should be an exciting game and remember the last time we went 6-0 to start a season we made it to the NCAA tournament. So come out and support!
