That was a clean look. Ouch.

48 all.

 

[LETTERL]

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.

Bit of a thriller.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Ok. That was the opposite of a thrilling possession.

how long did Miami think 2.1 seconds was?

 

[Gamecockfan77]

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.

Barely getting by an inferior opponent seemed to work great for Stanford last week.
