2. Miami 90 Duke 74, 2015

Miami got just its second ever win at Cameron Indoor Stadium in historic fashion. They ended the Blue Devils 41 game home court winning streak by outscoring Duke 56-39 in the second half. Miami shot 67 percent after halftime to upset the then number four Blue Devils.

It was the first time Duke had lost a home game in nearly three seasons and Miami handed Duke losses in back to back regular season games for the first time in six years.

Former Miami Hurricane Manu Lecompte who would transfer to Baylor following the season topped 20 points for the first time in his collegiate career with his Miami high mark of 23. Ten of his 23 points came from the foul line where he made ten of his 11 attempts.

The Hurricanes came into the game confident as Angel Rodriguez discussed after the game with the Associated Press:

"“We were talking from the moment we started preparing to play Duke … about the way they play defense and the way we like to play offense,” Rodriguez said. “We felt like it was a great matchup and they were going to allow us kind of to do what we wanted to do”"

Rodriguez and Lecomte put on a show scoring over half of the Hurricanes points. A-Rod finished with 24 points, five rebounds, five steals and made four of his six three-point attempts.
