Even without poutine and ketchup chips, 4 players from Toronto aim to get Miami back to NCAAs

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:13:16 GMT

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — There are some serious complaints being aired by a handful of Miami women’s basketball players. For example, finding good poutine in South Florida isn’t easy. Ketchup-flavored potato chips aren’t in most stores. And the inability to start a day with coffee from Tim Hortons is a real problem.These are key issues when almost half of a team’s roster hails from Toronto.For these Hurricanes — Lemyah Hylton, Lashae Dwyer, Shayeann Day-Wilson and Latasha Lattimore — Thanksgiving is in October, the Raptors are the hometown NBA team and what Floridians call “freezing” is nothing more than a pleasant day outside to them.Dwyer, Day-Wilson and Lattimore all hail from Toronto; Hylton is from the suburb of Mississauga, about 15 miles (25 kilometers) west of Toronto. The Hurricanes have only 11 players on the roster this season — and having four from Toronto is basically a happy coincidence.“Honestly, I have no idea how this happened,” Hylton said. “And I think a lot of p...

That adds to the challenges for investigators, who routinely track cell phones to find...
