Stetson at Miami basketball: Game and broadcast information

The Miami basketball team will play its second game of the 2020-21 season when they host Stetson on Friday night.

The Miami basketball team was originally supposed to open the season on November 25 against Stetson. Stetson had to move the game because of a COVID-19 outbreak and the teams will meet on Friday night at the Watsco Center. Miami began the season with a 77-59 victory over North Florida on Sunday night.

Stetson lost 64-61 to Division II Emmanuel College on Monday. The Hatters were led by sophomore guard Rod Perry who scored 26 points and added four rebounds in the season-opening loss. Stetson also has 6’10 center Mahamadou Diawara who had 10 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks against Emmanuel.

Sophomore guard Isaiah Wong led five Miami players in double figures in the season opener with 20 points, seven rebounds and made nine of his 14 shots. Harlond Beverly had the first double-double of his Miami career with 11 points, 11 rebounds, two assists and three steals. If healthy, Miami will have good balance this season.

Miami was able to defeat North Florida without a good game from senior Chris Lykes. Lykes, a first-team preseason All-ACC choice, finished with 11 points on 3-13 from the floor, 2-6 on three-point attempts and four rebounds, five assists and three steals. Matt Cross and Kameron McGusty also finished in double figures with 10 each.
