No. 12 Miami men’s basketball failed to pick up its tenth consecutive win on Wednesday night at McCamish Pavilion, as Georgia Tech eked out a 76-70 decision for its first Atlantic Coast Conference victory of the season.
After bouncing back from a 12-point first-half deficit, the Hurricanes (13-2, 4-1 ACC) held a six-point advantage with just under five minutes to play. But Miami missed its final six field goal attempts of the game, and forward Norchad Omier, who had 17 points and a team-high eight rebounds, fouled out with 2:15 remaining.
The Yellow Jackets (8-6, 1-3 ACC) capitalized with a 12-0 run for the upset.
