Greg Cote's Hot Button Top 10: Saving Miami Hurricanes hoops, Dolphins, Messi health, Marchand & more
Briefly

In this week’s installment of the Hot Button Top 10, Greg Cote highlights major sports stories from Miami. Miami's basketball team concluded a horrendous 7-24 season, leading to the hiring of Duke assistant Jai Lucas as a new head coach. The Dolphins brace for NFL free agency and must decide whether to keep safety Jevon Holland amid other roster concerns. Inter Miami deals with controversy over Lionel Messi's frequent absences, with some analysts suggesting his absence may not just be fatigue. These developments set a tone for sports action in the coming weeks.
"Miami's consolation home win Saturday over N.C. State mercifully ended the Canes season at 7-24, one of the worst in the 63-year history of the men's program."
"The free agency window opens Wednesday, with landing spots for QBs Aaron Rodgers and Sam Darnold atop the national marquee."
"Hislop said he thinks there is more than load management to Lionel Messi missing so many games."
"Miami target its weakness at the guard position now -- with eight OG's among the Top 100-ranked free agents -- or wait until the draft to address that need."
