Jordan Miller was perfect on Sunday.
The Hurricanes’ fifth-year senior guard made all seven of his shots from the field and all 13 of his free throws, scoring 27 points in Miami’s comeback Elite Eight victory over Texas.
Miller is the first player to take at least seven shots from the field and free-throw line and hit all of them in an NCAA Tournament game in more than 30 years. The last player to accomplish the feat was Duke’s Christian Laettner in the 1992 Elite Eight. In that game, Laettner hit “The Shot” — a last-second, game-winning basket that sent Duke to the Final Four.
