Two late free throws from sixth-year senior Charlie Moore sent Miami to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
The veteran guard, who is in his first year with the Hurricanes, hit a pair of free throws with three seconds left in the second half to put Miami ahead for good in a 68-66 win over Southern Cal in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, S.C., on Friday. The win is the Hurricanes’ first in the NCAA Tournament since 2016.
“I just wanted to help my teammates come out with the win,” Moore said. “I felt like those free throws would be it. I just wanted to focus and take my time. I felt like if I make them, we had a great chance of winning the game. I knocked them down.”
