Wooga Poplar - Will start Friday Poplar (back) will start in Friday's game against Houston, Tracy Wolfson of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Poplar is good to go for Friday's action after injuring his back in last weekend's game against Indiana. It is unclear how limited he will be from the injury, though head coach Jim Larranaga noted that Poplar looked good during the teams shoot around.

Wooga Poplar - Could start Friday Poplar (back) will likely be a game-time decision for Friday's matchup with Houston, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Poplar was able to practice on Thursday, and he will be in Miami's starting lineup "if he feels okay tomorrow", according to head coach Jim Larranaga. The 6-foot-5 sophomore, who suffered a back injury during Sunday's game against Indiana, has appeared in all 34 games this season (34 starts), averaging 8.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 steals on 23.2 minutes per game. If Poplar is unable to suit up on Friday, the Hurricanes will likely look for additional contributions from Bensley Joseph and Harlond Beverly.

Wooga Poplar - Practicing on Thursday Poplar (back) is practicing on Thursday, according to Sam Lance of ZagsBlog.com.
Impact Excluding a brief shootaround he participated in Wednesday, Poplar is practicing for the first time since Miami's win against Indiana. With that in mind, his availability status improves from doubtful to questionable. Miami and Houston are expected to begin playing at 7:15 p.m. EST on Friday, giving Poplar a little over 30 hours to get ready.
MARCH 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Wooga Poplar - Still yet to practice Poplar (back) has not practiced since getting injured against Indiana on Sunday, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Poplar not practicing is a strong sign he may not be able to play when Miami and Houston are against each other Friday in the 2023 NCAA Tournament's Sweet Sixteen. If Poplar cannot go against the Cougars, Harlond Beverly is the likeliest candidate to start in place of his injured teammate. However, the Hurricanes have at least a day before they play Houston and will do whatever they can to ensure Poplar is game-ready Friday.

Jordan Miller - Bounces back as 'Canes advance Miller supplied 19 points (9-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 36 minutes during Sunday's 85-69 victory over Indiana.
Impact Miller had an off game in Miami's NCAA Tournament opener against Drake, as he was held to single digits (seven points), snapping a 26-game streak of scoring in double figures. The senior forward had a bounce-back effort against the Hoosiers on the back of a significantly higher shot volume, but he and the Hurricanes will see their toughest defensive matchup of the season Friday when they face Houston in the Sweet 16.

Norchad Omier - Grabs 17 rebounds Omier accumulated seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 85-69 win over Indiana.
Impact While Omier took a back seat offensively with names such as Isaiah Wong and Jordan Miller dominating the offense, his contributions on the defensive end were massive, and he posted a season-high mark in rebounds. Omier is averaging 13.4 points and 10.1 rebounds per game in his first year with the Hurricanes.

Isaiah Wong - Shines against Hoosiers Wong registered 27 points (9-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 85-69 win over Indiana.
Impact Wong led Miami in scoring as the Hurricanes claimed a Sweet 16 berth. He bounced back admirably following a five-point performance against Drake in the Tournament opener, and he's now scored at least 20 points in two of his last three appearances.

Wooga Poplar - Suffers injury Poplar suffered a back injury during Miami's game Sunday against Indiana, according to Michelle Kaufman of the Miami Herald.
Impact According to Miami's head coach Jim Larranaga, Poplar fell awkwardly on his tailbone, resulting in his limited action Sunday. He logged six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and four rebounds across 18 minutes. Fortunately for Poplar, Miami defeated Indiana without his maximum availability Sunday. That gives him another opportunity to do so, which the Hurricanes will likely need when they play No. 1 Houston on Friday.
