. One of the hallmarks of the University of Miami’s hot streak at the end of the season has been its phenomenal play at the end of games.
But Thursday night in an ACC Quarterfinal game against North Carolina, it was mistakes on both ends of the floor in the final four minutes that doomed the Hurricanes in an 82-65 loss at Barclays Center.
A wild game that saw the Hurricanes burst out to a huge early lead, then have to rally from behind, was right there for Miami, trailing 69-65 with 3:50 left.
But that’s when Miami (22-9) fell apart, and the Tar Heels scored the final 13 points of the game.
