Instead of welcoming one Associated Press top-five team into Coral Gables, Miami women’s basketball played another on two days’ notice due to COVID-19 protocol.
Trailing by three with 7:50 remaining in the fourth quarter, Miami battled No. 5 NC State for offensive momentum. But then, the Wolfpack initiated a 7-0 run to keep the Hurricanes away from a late comeback and dealt a 76-64 loss inside the Watsco Center Sunday afternoon.
“[It was] just a great basketball game, and I think we got a heck of a lot better in a day since the last time we played,” Miami head coach Katie Meier said.
