Getting to know the Miami Hurricanes starting five

Here is a statistical breakdown of Miami's starting five.

The Kentucky Wildcats are set to face off with the Miami Hurricanes in the SEC/ACC Challenge. 

This game will be huge for both ball clubs as they look for a signature win in their non-conference slates. 

The Cats will have the luxury of playing this ball game in Rupp Arena, so Big Blue Nation will make their presence felt as Miami will walk into a hectic environment.

This Miami team plays small ball, with their tallest starter only standing 6'7, but they score a lot of points and shoot the three-ball well. These two basketball teams play somewhat similarly currently, as the Cats are still without their seven-footers. 

Kentucky's matchup with the Miami Hurricanes of the ACC will be a really fun matchup that is sure to be high scoring with a bunch of made threes from both teams. 

Let's take a look at the stats from Miami's starting five as they get ready to head to Lexington and take on the #12 Kentucky Wildcats.
