CORAL GABLES — Nijel Pack was ice cold to start Tuesday night.
The Hurricanes point guard did not score for the first 32 minutes against Virginia Tech, but he caught fire when Miami needed him most.
Pack drained five second-half three-pointers to vault the No. 23 Hurricanes (17-5, 8-4 ACC) over the Hokies (13-9, 3-8 ACC) 92-83 at the Watsco Center in Coral Gables. Miami has won 11 straight home games.
“[It felt] insane,” Pack said. “I felt like if I would’ve shot it from half court, I could’ve messed around and made it. My teammates believed in any shot I took.
