For the fourth-straight time, the Miami Hurricanes played a game decided by three points or fewer, but for the fourth consecutive time, they came out with the win.

Freshman guard Chris Lykes, who continues to be the fuel that ignites Miami since the injury to Bruce Brown Jr., scored 15 points, dished out a game-high seven assists and made the game-winning free-throw to lead the Canes past the Virginia Tech Hokies 69-68 in their regular season finale March 3 at the Watsco Center.
