The Deacs are headed down to Florida for a battle between a couple of winless ACC teams. I have no idea what to expect in this game because I haven’t watched Miami play all year. However, looking at their record, they have some bad losses to Rutgers, Yale and Penn. Of course, that’s nothing as bad as we have on our record, but the Canes are definitely a beatable team. The point guard battle between Chris Lykes and Brandon Childress will likely be the deciding factor in this one.
