FSU Rallies To Slip Past Miami 55-54
TALLAHASSEE (AP) — Montay Brandon scored 18 points on 7-of-7 shooting, and Florida State rallied from a 16-point first-half deficit to beat No. 23 Miami 55-54 on Sunday.
The Hurricanes' Sheldon McClellan missed a floater in the lane as time expired.
Brandon had 12 of his points in the second half to spark the rally for Florida State (12-10, 4-5 Atlantic Coast Conference). Kiel Turpin added 10 points for the Seminoles, who shot 53.7 percent.
Turpin put Florida State ahead for good with a baby hook with 1:41 left.
McClellan led the Hurricanes (14-7, 4-4) with 13 points, and Davon Reed had 11 points and six rebounds. But Miami, which led 36-25 at the break, shot 6 of 19 in the second half and scored only 18 points.
