Wooga Poplar - Impresses in season opener Poplar finished Monday's 101-60 win over NJIT with 21 points (8-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 23 minutes. Impact Poplar couldn't have asked for a better start to the season, as he was one of Miami's top performers in this blowout win. This outing certainly backed up Miami's head coach Jim Larranaga's words, when he said in preseason that he expects Poplar to be a first-team All-ACC player in 2023-24. For what is worth, the junior guard averaged 8.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 23.5 minutes across 37 appearances in 2022-23.
