The Hurricanes were as hungry as ever for their first win over the North Carolina Tar Heels since February 2018. Miami (4-5, 0-4 ACC) led by nine points with seven and a half minutes remaining in the second half Tuesday night against the Tar Heels, but the injury-plagued team could not shake its recent late game collapses.
North Carolina guard Leaky Black scored 16 points, 10 in the second half, and corralled nine rebounds, as North Carolina (7-4, 2-2 ACC) relied on 8-0 run and a game-winning layup from guard Andrew Platek to win 67-65 at the Watsco Center.
