The Miami Hurricanes rallied from down by as many as 20 to top Purdue, 58-54, in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Tuesday evening at Watsco Center.
Two Kameron McGusty free throws with 1:36 remaining gave Miami its first lead since the score was 1-0. After a stop, McGusty drove in, drew a foul and converted on the layup for a three-point play, putting the Hurricanes up, 55-51 with 42 seconds left.
Purdue’s Mason Gillis scored on a put-back with 4 seconds left to get back within 2, but McGusty closed it out by hitting two free throws.
