The Miami Hurricanes have made a habit of double-digit and dominating wins this season, but for any successful college basketball team, you’ve got to be able to pull out the close ones as well. In Miami’s matchup with the Pittsburgh Panthers Tuesday night, it couldn’t have gotten much closer.
With 1.4 seconds left, the smallest player on the court, Angel Rodriguez, finished off a flurry of putback attempts with a tip-in of his own and sealed a crucial 65-63 ACC win over Pittsburgh.
