RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) --- Malik Reneau scored 26 points and Miami scored the last
eight points of the game to beat North Carolina State 77-76 on Saturday night.
N.C. State scored seven straight points to take a 76-69 lead with 1:07
remaining. Then Reneau answered with a three-point play and Tru Washington
added a layup to pull Miami to within 76-74 with 32 seconds left.
With 13 seconds to go, N.C. State's Quadir Copeland missed a free throw. The
Wolfpack's Darrion Williams fouled Washington on a 3-point attempt on the
following possession with three seconds remaining. Washington sank all three of
his free-throw attempts before Matt Able missed a 3-pointer to end it.
Reneau shot 12 of 19 from the floor and grabbed six rebounds. Shelton Henderson
added 17 points and nine boards for Miami (20-5, 9-3 Atlantic Coast
Conference). Tre Donaldson chipped in with 14 points and Washington finished
with 13 for the Hurricanes, who have won three straight and five of their last
six games.
Able and Ven-Allen Lubin scored 17 points apiece to lead N.C. State (18-8,
9-4). Copeland and Williams added 11 points each. The Wolfpack have lost
back-to-back games since they had their six-game win streak snapped with a
118-77 loss to No. 24 Louisville.
Able made three 3-pointers and scored 15 points, and Copeland and Lubin added
nine apiece to help N.C. State build a 43-37 halftime lead. Reneau scored 16
points on 8-of-12 shooting to pace Miami in the first half.
