CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. (AP) Isaiah Wong hit 5 of 9 3-point attempts and Miami guaranteed itself a bye into the quarterfinal round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament by beating Boston College 81-70 on Wednesday night.
Miami plays its regular-season finale Saturday at Syracuse. If Duke beats North Carolina in its final game of the regular season and the Hurricanes beat Syracuse, they would be the No. 3 seed into the ACC tournament.
The win made Miami coach Jim Larranaga the winningest coach in Miami history, collecting 221 wins during his 11 seasons with the Hurricanes. Larranaga entered the game tied with Bruce Hale's 220 career wins in 13 seasons (1954-67).
