Cunane hits two FT. Timeout Miami. 37 seconds left. NC State up 48-45.

NC State's last win at Miami came during the 2006-07 season.
 
Miami nails a THREE with 22 seconds left. 48-48 game.

Prior to that was a long review, where the replay appeared to show the ball going off the hands off the Miami player. But officials ruled it went off the knee of NC State's Kayla Jones.
 
Jakia Brown-Turner with a 12-footer. 50-48, NC State. 2.9 seconds left. Timeout Miami.
 
WHEW! NC State survives and wins at Miami for the first time since February 24, 2007. The Wolfpack Women advance to 23-3, 12-3 ACC. Miami falls to 13-13, 5-10 ACC.

She was 4 of 6 from THREE and grabbed 6 rebounds. Elissa Cunane finished with 15 points, struggling once again from the field but feasting from the FT line.

Up next: NC State faces a hot Duke team next Monday night in their annual Play-4-Kay game. Miami visits Boston College Sunday afternoon.
 
Ooh, the type of win that should move NC State back in front of UConn in the AP poll.

This game reminded me of our high school girls' BB team my senior year in high school. They were undefeated and got ranked #1. In their next game, neither they or their opponent could seemingly hit a shot, and our girls grinded out a 28-26 win. Wasn't pretty, but they survived.

A game like this can be good for confidence and character. It was a grinder.
 
Glad State won..... I want them to be still in the top 10 come Monday Night. It will be great to knock off a top 10 team on the road.
