Friday & Saturday game Recaps

Miami downs Florida International 76 -50
  • Miami came away with an easy win Friday night, downing the Golden Panthers. Miami was led by James Dews with 15 points while all-ACC guard Jack McClinton chipped in 12. Miami also turned in a solid defensive effort, allowing only one Panther player to reach double figures.

Maryland handles Deleware State 86-58

  • Maryland went on a 12-0 run midway through the first half to key their rout of DSU Friday night. Maryland was led by Landon Milbourne with 23 points and 7 boards. Maryland had three other players reach double figures with Hayes, Vasquez, and Bowie scoring 12, 16, and 12 respectively. Vasquez also tallied 8 boards and 7 assists. DSU was paced by Kris Douse, who came off the bench to score 14 points in 22 minutes of action.

Florida State survives a scare, beats Georgia State 62-57

  • FSU got 23 points from Toney Douglas to outlast Georgia State Saturday. Douglas was 7-13 from the floor and 3-5 from three. Normally the best free throw shooting team in the ACC, the Seminoles struggled slightly on this night, only shooting 68.4% as a team. GSU got a great effort from junior guard Trae Goldston, who scored 24, 12 of which came from 4 3-pointers.

NC State crusies past Winston Salem State 74-46

  • NC State won easily while playing in historic Reynolds Coliseum. They were led by Ben McCauley with 14 points and 9 boards.

Clemson wins easily, 90-63, over South Carolina State

  • Clemson loafed past SCS, getting 19 points from K.C. Rivers and 18 from Trevor Booker. A bright spot to note for the Tigers was their free throw effort. Typically woeful from the line, Clemson shot 73.7% in this one going 14-19.

UNC scores early, often in beating Oral Roberts 100-84

  • One of the nations highest scoring teams kept it rolling Saturday, topping the 100 point mark for the fourth time this year. The formidable duo of Hansbrough and Thompson shined again, combining for 48 points and 17 boards. Coach Roy Williams was probably not thrilled with the defensive effort however, as 4 players reached double figures for the Golden Eagles led by Robert Jarvis with 26.
