Beverly and Daniels add 14 points for NC State in winning effort
CORAL GABLES, FL – The NC State men's basketball team held on to defeat Miami, 83-72, in the Watsco Center Wednesday evening to complete a season sweep of the Hurricanes.
With the win, NC State improves to 15-8, 6-6 in the ACC.
C.J. Bryce posted a game-high 22 points and tied his career-high with 11 rebounds while Markell Johnson added 19 points and a season-best 12 assists.
Devon Daniels and Braxton Beverly both finished with 14 points while Manny Bates had his first double-digit scoring performance against an ACC opponent with 10 points.
The Pack trailed 9-2 early, but battled back to take its first lead of the game on a Bates shot to give NC State a 26-24 lead.
The basket was part of a 15-1 run that saw the Pack take a nine-point lead, 33-24, with 4:55 left in the half.
After Miami closed to within five at 33-28, the Pack went on an 11-2 run to take a 44-30 lead and went into the break with a 44-32 lead.
In the second half, Beverly shook loose for three three-pointers in the first six minutes as the Pack led by as many as 18 points in the second half.
Miami made one last run as they took a 63-45 deficit and went on a 19-4 run to close within three points, 67-64, on a DJ Vasiljevic three-pointer with 7:14 remaining.
NC State would stiffen on defense though as the Canes would only hit one more field goal the rest of the game.
Johnson was fouled three times in the games closing minute and hit both ends of three consecutive one-and-ones to push NC State's lead back into double digits.
Miami was led by Harlond Beverly with 20 points while Vasiljevic added 18 and Isaiah Wong finished with 12 points.
NC State returns to action Tuesday when it plays at Syracuse. The game will tipoff at 7 p.m. and be televised on ESPN2.
