RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — Malik Reneau scored 26 points and Miami scored the last eight points of the game to beat N.C. State 77-76 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
N.C. State scored seven straight points to take a 76-69 lead with 1:07 remaining. Then Reneau answered with a three-point play, and Tru Washington added a layup to pull Miami to within 76-74 with 32 seconds left.<\/p>\n
With 13 seconds to go, N.C. State’s Quadir Copeland missed a free throw. Then, a controversial foul call on the Wolfpack’s Darrion Williams gave Washington three free throws after a 3-point attempt on the following possession with three seconds remaining.<\/p>\n
Washington sank all three of his free-throw attempts before Matt Able missed a desperation 3-pointer to end it.<\/p>\n
Reneau shot 12 of 19 from the floor and grabbed six rebounds. Shelton Henderson added 17 points and nine boards for Miami (20-5, 9-3 Atlantic Coast Conference). Tre Donaldson chipped in with 14 points, and Washington finished with 13 for the Hurricanes, who have won three straight and five of their last six games.<\/p>\n
Able and Ven-Allen Lubin scored 17 points apiece to lead N.C. State (18-8, 9-4). Copeland and Williams added 11 points each. The Wolfpack have lost back-to-back games since they had their six-game win streak snapped with a 118-77 loss to No. 24 Louisville.<\/p>\n
Able made three 3-pointers and scored 15 points, and Copeland and Lubin added nine apiece to help N.C. State build a 43-37 halftime lead. Reneau scored 16 points on 8-of-12 shooting to pace Miami in the first half.<\/p>\n
