The University of Miami men’s basketball team (4-15, 0-8 ACC) lost to the Stanford Cardinal (13-6, 5-3 ACC), 88-51, Wednesday night at Stanford Maples Pavilion.

Senior Matthew Cleveland led the Hurricanes in scoring, totaling 23 points for his sixth 20-point game of the season.

The Cardinal got off to an electric start on offense, taking a dominant 25-5 lead at the midway point of the first half. The Hurricanes trailed by as much as 23 in the first 20 minutes until sophomore Paul Djobet sparked a 10-0 run for Miami with a driving layup at the 7:16 mark.

The Hurricanes pulled to within 13, 34-21, with 1:39 to play in the first half, but Stanford’s Oziyah Sellers connected on a 3-pointer in the final minute to put the Cardinal ahead, 37-21, at halftime.

Cleveland found his rhythm in the second half, scoring five straight points to start the frame and cut the deficit to 11, 37-26. The senior totaled 19 second-half points to reach double-figures for the 12th time this season.

However, the Cardinal shot 59.4 percent from the field in the second half to continue its offensive dominance. Stanford’s Maxime Raynaud led all scorers in the game with 28 points to lead the Cardinal to an 88-51 victory.

Miami remains in the Golden State to take on the Cal Bears on Sat., Jan. 25. Tipoff at Haas Pavilion is set for 8:30 p.m. Eastern time and the game will air on ESPNU.

Maybe it’s time for open tryouts on campus. Right now for an opposing team, the Hurricanes are not only a guaranteed win, but a night off.

I've been faithfully following Canes hoops since the Kevin Presto/Tito Horford James L Knight Center era. This is the worst team I can remember. First year in the Big East was rough but Ham had them competitive in a lot of games at least. Consistent 40 point blowouts is a new low.

That era brings back good memories. I remember Eric Brown & Dennis Burns lol
 
What happened to this team. Had some expectations going into the year. This is beyond pathetic

Bruh, this **** is unwatchable. How did we get so bad, so fast?
 
How many of you all were around for the 1993-1994 season? Miami went 7-20, 0-18 in the Big East and lost their last 17 games in a row. They lost 16 of their 18 BE games by double digits, and only one by less than 9. The leading scorer on the team, Jamal Johnson, averaged only 9.5 ppg.

Somehow this year is worse.

First year in the BE they went 1-17 but played some competitive games. It was the 3rd year in the BE where they went 0-18 where they weren't competitive at all.
