The University of Miami men's basketball team's losing streak extended to seven games after a close contest against No. 9 North Carolina, ending with a score of 72-70 in favor of UNC. Despite missing two starters and a spirited late rally, where the Hurricanes managed an 11-0 run to narrow the gap to just two points, they ultimately fell short. The game was notable for Miami's performance from beyond the arc, hitting 8 of 12 three-point attempts in the first half, contrasted with their struggle inside the arc, where they were 4 of 19. Freshman Kyshawn George was a standout performer for Miami, scoring 11 points, including going 3/3 from three-point range, showcasing why he's considered a projected NBA draftee. UNC led by five points at halftime, with a score of 37-32. However, criticisms were made about the quality of play in the final minutes, with some commentators describing it as some of the worst basketball they've ever seen.

the last 3-4 minutes of this UNC/Miami game have to be some of the worst basketball I've ever seen. Neither team wants this game whatsoever.
Miami, Missing 2 starters, on 11-0 run, trail No.10 UNC by just two 72-70 with a minute to go.. @MiamiHerald @HeraldSports @CanesHoops #GoCanes z
Miami with a chance to tie or go ahead. Hurricanes are on an 11-0 run
UNC has needed every one of those 41 points. Miami back within 2 with 1:17 still to go
8-0 run for Miami, and the Tar Heels' lead is down to 4...
UNC comes out of the break on a mission and Miami calling a timeout 44 seconds into the 2nd half.
Miami is 8 of 12 from 3 ... and 4 of 19 from 2. Kyshawn George leads with 11 points
Miami finally misses a 3 at the buzzer and UNC goes into halftime with a 37-32 lead
Wife: "No. 7 is good" That would be Miami freshman Kyshawn George, who has 11 of Miami's 19 points (while going 3/3 from 3). Showing why he's a projected NBA draftee. RJ Davis matching him with 11 of his own, almost as many as he had all game Saturday (12) vs. Virginia.
#UNC favored by 14 tonight vs. Miami.
