CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Starters get plenty of playing time with the shorthanded Miami Hurricanes, who have been trying to navigate the Atlantic Coast Conference with eight scholarship players available. That will be the case again Saturday when Miami hosts No. 9-ranked Florida State. For the second consecutive season, the Hurricanes roster doesn't approach the maximum 15 scholarship players allowed. This year they have 11, and three are hurt. Miami coach Jim Larranaga blames the lingering impact of an FBI investigation into college basketball that raised questions about his program. No wrongdoing by Larranaga surfaced.
