GAL RAVIV NAMED TO NANCY LIEBERMAN AWARD WATCH LIST

Gal Raviv is one of 20 players nationally on the 2026-27 Nancy Lieberman Point Guard of the Year Award Preseason Watch List, which the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame announced Monday. The University of Miami women's basketball guard is among the nation's premier point guards recognized ahead of the season.

The award recognizes the top point guard in NCAA Division I women's basketball and is named for Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman. The preseason watch list will remain fluid throughout the season, with players added or removed as the year progresses. It will be narrowed to 10 candidates in late February before five finalists are announced in March.

Fan voting opens Friday, Oct. 30, and the leading vote getter receives one additional vote in the award selection process. More information is available at HoophallAwards.com.

Can Gal Raviv hold a place among the final 10 when the list gets cut in February, or will the fan vote decide who really wins?

Miami lost its perfect season on Saturday night, and the sportsbooks barely blinked. FanDuel opened the Hurricanes as 14.5 point favorites over Duke for the Week 11 homecoming game at Hard Rock Stadium, with the total set at 53.5. The line arrived hours after Notre Dame beat Miami 31-24 and ended the unbeaten run. Notre Dame led 24-3 before the Hurricanes rallied.

Duke brings a story with it. Coach Manny Diaz once ran the Miami program before he was fired to make way for Mario Cristobal, and several former Miami staffers followed him to Duke. Diaz also has former Miami players on his roster, along with several South Florida natives. Darian Mensah and Cooper Barkate played for Duke last year before transferring to Miami, so two of the Hurricanes' key offensive players will face their old team.

The calendar offers Miami a quick reset. Duke visits Nov. 14, and the Hurricanes will have to play without star receiver Malachi Toney, who had ankle surgery and is reportedly out 4 to 6 weeks. He hopes to return for the ACC Championship Game or the College Football Playoff. Duke's chances of reaching that title game are slim, so the oddsmakers see little standing between Miami and a bounce back. The books did not blink, and now Miami has to play the game.

Pitt came to Hard Rock Stadium hoping a backup quarterback and a leaky secondary would be enough. Miami spent the afternoon showing otherwise, and the final score, 52 to 23, was the least of it.

Darian Mensah threw for 387 yards and four touchdowns without an interception. Malachi Toney caught 16 passes for 194 yards and three scores, including a catch of 53 yards that left the Pitt secondary looking flat-footed. Javian Mallory ran for 47 yards and two touchdowns, and Mark Fletcher Jr. added 41 rushing yards and another score.

Pitt was not finished. Holden Geriner threw for 268 yards, Cataurus Hicks caught five passes for 149 yards, and Damon Ferguson Jr. scored on a run. The Panthers lost a fumble along the way, though, and when the passing and rushing yards were added up, Miami had 506 yards of offense to Pitt's 403.

Jake Weinberg kicked a field goal from 40 yards and made all seven extra points. Pitt never found the stretch of football that turns a game around, and Miami never gave it one.

The No. 1 ranking was supposed to paint a target on the Hurricanes. They carried it onto the field, played as if the target were not there, and let the scoreboard make the argument.

Which Miami player did you think stood out?
