Preview: Stanford Cardinal at Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes CORAL GABLES, Fla. (Interstat) — Two teams seeking momentum for the stretch run will meet Thursday when the Stanford Cardinal visit the Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes in an Atlantic Coast Conference women’s basketball matchup at Watsco Center. Stanford (16-11) arrives after dropping three of its last four, including a 75-69 home loss to Virginia on Sunday. The Cardinal have struggled on the road in ACC play, going 2-6 away from home. Miami (13-12) snapped a four-game skid with an 82-70 victory at Boston College on Sunday. The Hurricanes are 9-4 at home this season. The game features a compelling matchup in the post. Stanford’s Nunu Agara is coming off a 21-point, five-rebound performance in 38 minutes against Virginia. For Miami, forward Ra Shaya Kyle has been dominant, averaging a double-double over her last seven games. She is fresh off a 24-point, 10-rebound effort in the win over Boston College. Stanford’s recent struggles have been marked by offensive inconsistency, failing to reach 70 points in four of their last five losses. Beyond Agara, production has varied; Courtney Ogden and Hailee Swain combined for 23 points in the loss to Virginia. Miami’s offense runs through Kyle, but support from guards like Ahnay Adams, who had 15 points and seven rebounds Sunday, will be key against Stanford’s perimeter defense. The Hurricanes won the teams’ first meeting this season, 72-68, on Jan. 18 in Stanford, California. Kyle led Miami with 19 points and 11 rebounds in that game. With both teams hovering around .500, the result carries weight for seeding in the upcoming ACC Tournament. Stanford will look to avenge its earlier loss and improve its road record, while Miami aims to build its first winning streak in nearly a month. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST Thursday. Stanford visits Florida State on Sunday. Miami hosts California on Sunday.
