Just as he guided the Miami Hurricanes to late-game successes all season long, redshirt senior guard Charlie Moore stepped up to the foul line with three seconds left for the two most critical free throws of their season.
He knocked both down.
Moore’s game-clinching foul shots carried 10th-seeded Miami to a 68-66 upset win over No. 7 seed Southern California at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina, after sophomore guard Isaiah Wong fouled out with a game-high 22 points in the Hurricanes’ first NCAA Tournament game since 2018.
Neither team started well from the field in the opening minutes.
