Jordan Miller took 20 shots in the regional final for Miami and made them all, helping the Hurricanes rally their way into the Final Four. The personification of clutch.
A guy named Clutch is why he’s at Miami, why Miller has become one of the stars of March Madness - and why the Hurricanes are one of the four men’s teams lucky enough to head to Houston this weekend and see their season stretch into April.
Good thing that recruitment went the way it did, because Miami has absolutely needed Miller this season — never more than it did on Sunday. Miller was 7 for 7 from the field and 13 for 13 from the foul line in Miami’s 88-81 win over Texas, a victory that sent the Hurricanes into Saturday’s national semifinals against UConn . For the season, Miller is averaging 15.4 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, second-most for Miami in both categories.
“I just asked Jordan to ask the people at George Mason know what kind of coach I am and if he’d fit in my program,” Larrañaga said. “And a lot of them told him, ‘Yeah, you should go play for Coach L.’ I was so impressed with him as an individual. You know, the basketball ability is one thing but his personality, his work ethic, his basketball IQ made me feel like ‘OK, this kid will fit in really, really well.’ I had no idea he was this good.
Larrañaga doesn’t think many people know how good Miller is. He calls the 6-foot-7, 195-pound wing “the most underrated player in the country.”
