Miami upsets No. 4 N.C. State. Losing River Baldwin is tough. Miami won paint points, 38-16. Wolfpack shot 28.1% (thought I read that wrong; I did not!) and didn't have any production from their bench. https://t.co/HvAMS1ceSw
Canes women beat No. 4 NC State tonight 73-59 and if you're surprised, why? Katie Meier's program is now 3-2 in its last five games against teams ranked in the top four of the AP poll.
Memo to Canes fans: At end of first quarter, unranked UM women lead No. 4 NC St 21-10. Miami shooting 75 percent, ended quarter on 10-0 run. Wolfpack 21 percent. Pack 1-of-11 to end quarter. Long way to go, but great start for UM. @HeraldSports @CanesWBB #GoCanes #GoPack #ACC
