Redshirt senior guard Kameron McGusty and freshman forward Matt Cross led the Miami Hurricanes to a comeback win, 58-54, without senior guard Chris Lykes in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge over the Purdue Boilermakers at the Watsco Center on Tuesday evening.
The team’s two starters, who combined for 29 of a total 58 points, helped spark Miami on a 16-4 run in the final five minutes of the second half. Purdue, on the other hand, only made two foul shots and a layup, after leading 15-1 from the opening tip.
Being the worst 3-point shooting team in the ACC last year (28 percent) was on full display in the early goings.
