Beating the North Carolina Tar Heels at the Dean E. Smith Center, where they are 11-2 this season, is never an easy task.
However, the No. 15 Miami Hurricanes were not phased on Monday night, as they pulled out an impressive 80-72 victory over North Carolina. Over half of the Hurricanes’ points came from guards Jordan Miller and Nijel Pack.
“I think it was a good road win and a good statement win,” Miller said. “That we can not only win at home, but we can win on the road too.”
Miller led Miami (21-5, 12-4 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC)) in scoring and rebounding with a 24-point, 11-rebound performance.
