CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) – Sheldon McClellan scored 19 points and the Miami Hurricanes sank 10 3-pointers to snap a three-game losing streak by beating Clemson 56-45 Sunday.
Clemson had won four in a row.
The Hurricanes trailed early in the second half before scoring 13 consecutive points, and led the rest of the way.
Junior Tonye Jekiri tied a career high with 16 rebounds with five blocked shots for Miami (15-8, 5-5 Atlantic Coast Conference). Ivan Cruz Uceda had 10 points off the bench for the Hurricanes.
Donte Grantham and Jordan Roper had 10 points apiece for Clemson (14-9, 6-5).
The Tigers shot 33 percent and went 5 of 20 from 3-point range. Their offensive frustrations culminated in the final three minutes, when they missed five shots before committing a turnover – all during a single possession.
