The University of Miami men’s basketball team dropped a 68-66 decision against Duke on Saturday afternoon at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

“We fought hard and competed for 90 minutes,” Miami head coach Sarah Barnes said. “We have to better prepare them to better recognize what the defense is throwing at us, so we can be more dangerous in the attack, have the ball more and continue to improve on execution. We have some things we have to continue to work on to be where we want to be.”

"This is a great group and they know that winning is fragile and the margin is small," Gandara said. "I’m excited to get to work this week as we get ready to host the Hurricane Invitational next weekend."

“The team was really tough,” Miami head coach Sarah Barnes said. “We talked for a long time about being relentless and I thought the effort and energy from every person on the team made the difference today.”
