CVBL: Miami Steals Spotlight from Washington
Miami may have finally put an end to questions with a 90-69 win over Washington today. The team has had its ups and downs recently, with some off-the-field incidents involving key players ruining the team's focus. Keeney was at the center of the controversy, after being arrested for weapon violations just three days ago. His legal problems were sorted out quickly, but the attention drawn to the incident received more news than today's game against Washington. Keeney let his play do the talking today, helping his team put the unfortunate incident behind him with a solid game. "Definitely nice to be asked about a game MVP performance than about an arrest," he said later on.
Miami was led by Keeney (28 points, 0 assists, a steal), Colomb (13 points, 5 boards, 1 assists, a steal, 2 blocks), Romero (14 points, 5 boards, 1 assists). Washington was led by Borenstein (16 points, 7 boards, 1 assists, 3 blocks), French (14 points, 5 boards, 0 assists, a steal, a block), Davis (6 points, 3 steals).

Washington drop to 26-49 and 15-21 at home with today's loss. They hold at #3 in the Southeast and hold at #12 overall in the Eastern Conference.
