After a late Florida Atlantic run tied the game at 66, guard Isaiah Wong made a contested lay-up with 0.7 seconds remaining to give the Hurricanes a 68-66 victory.
“I told everybody to just get out of [Wong’s] way and Isaiah just go ahead and score,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said. “I think he was either going to score or get fouled in that situation.”
Wong led the Hurricanes (2-1) in scoring on Tuesday night with 18 points on a 7-of-15 shooting mark.
“[Wong] is a very hard guy to keep from scoring,” Larrañaga said.
