IUP closed out its two-game exhibition schedule with another matchup against an ACC power, dropping an 89-55 game against the Miami Hurricanes yesterday. Miami was an Elite Eight team in last year’s NCAA Tournament and is picked fourth in the ACC this year.
The Hurricanes sprinted to a 13-0 lead at the start of the game but IUP countered with an 8-0 run. They kept the game at single digits for most of the first half but trailed 40-29 at the half. But Miami stretched the lead in the second half as the Hurricanes shot 54.4 percent from the field while the Crimson Hawks were limited to 30 percent.
Shawndale Jones led IUP with 15 points. Tomiwa Sulaiman and Dave Morris each scored 14.
IUP will start its season November 12th with a game against Concord at Clarion.
