Coby White tied a career-high with 33 points, and North Carolina beat Miami 88-85 in overtime on Saturday afternoon.
In what will almost undoubtedly turn out to be the best game of the day in college basketball, the Tar Heels needed every bit of White’s 33 points to top the upset-minded Hurricanes. He hit 11-of-16 shots from the floor, including 7-of-10 from three-point range and 4-of-5 from the free throw line. And after turning the ball over three times in the game’s first five minutes, he finished with six assists and not a single second half turnover.
Luke Maye scored 20 points and pulled down six rebounds while playing a team-high 39 minutes.
