The only matchup between Miami and Navy occurred in 1987. That was during the David Robinson era. Navy earned a 73-62 victory. The Midshipmen were coming off an Elite Eight appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Miami was in its second season after reinstating basketball.
Without any of the Navy Players like Robinson expect Huell and Izundu to have their way inside again. That tandem will be one of the keys to the Miami Hurricanes season.

If they can get solid play inside the Hurricanes will be a very tough team to defend. Huell and Izundu also give Miami a tough inside presence defensively and on the boards.
