McCray’s Late Free Throws Lift Florida State Past Miami for First ACC Win

The win gave rookie coach Luke Loucks his first ACC victory.

Overview

  • Robert McCray V hit two free throws in the final second to seal Florida State’s 65-63 road win at Miami.
  • McCray finished with 20 points on 7-for-17 shooting and 6-for-8 at the line, bouncing back from an 11-turnover game against Wake Forest.
  • The Seminoles snapped a five-game skid for their first conference and first road victory of the season, improving to 8-11 (1-5 ACC).
  • Miami took its first home loss after an 11-0 start and has dropped two straight, with Shelton Henderson scoring 18 points and Malik Reneau adding 16.
  • Florida State has won 15 of the last 16 in the rivalry, leaning on a paint-first approach under Loucks, and the ACC’s volatility showed as NC State also upset No. 18 Clemson on the road.
