Freshman Cross leaves Miami Hurricanes’ basketball program

Freshman forward Matt Cross has left the Miami Hurricanes’ program, the latest personnel loss for a reeling team plagued by injuries

Puts up 16 points off bench Cross delivered 16 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes off the bench in Saturday's win over Louisville.

Impact Cross has been extremely inconsistent with his scoring figures and was coming off a scoreless appearance before being demoted to the bench, but he responded in a big way with 16 points, tying his season-best scoring output of the campaign. Given how depleted Miami on offense, it wouldn't be out of the question to see Cross moving back to the starting five for Tuesday's matchup at Syracuse.

JANUARY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back in starting five Cross is starting Saturday's game against Clemson.

Impact Cross played a bench role in each of the last three contests, but he put up a season-high 16 points Tuesday against Virginia Tech. He'll reclaim his spot in the starting five Saturday, taking the place of Anthony Walker.

Strong performance off bench Cross scored 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt) while adding two rebounds, an assist and two steals across 26 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 80-78 loss against Virginia Tech.

Impact Cross was one of two players that scored 16 points for the Hurricanes, but his efforts were not enough to pull away with the win on the road against the Hokies. Cross reached the 10-point mark after not being able to accomplish that feat in four straight games. He's been coming off the bench in Miami's last three games as well, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him on the bench for Saturday's matchup against Clemson.

May be available Cross (arm) might be available for Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh, Christy Chirinos of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Fills stat sheet in win Cross posted 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal across 26 minutes during Sunday's 77-59 win over North Florida.

It was a strong showing for the freshman in his college debut, and he will try to build off this performance in Miami's next game against Stetson on Friday.
