Hot off a regular season ending win over Boston College, the Miami Hurricanes men’s basketball team survived a 79-73 battle against the Pittsburgh Panthers Tuesday afternoon at the Greensboro Coliseum to advance to the second round of the ACC tournament.
Miami (9-16, 4-15 ACC) shot 43 percent from the field in the game and missed six out of its 28 free throws. Miami also assisted on 17 of its 26 field goals while turning the ball over six times.
“Well, I’m a great believer in numbers and the numbers today were very indicative of the terrific win we had,” Miami dead coach Jim Larrañaga said after the game.
