N.C. State pushed another ranked foe on its home court before finally coming up short on Sunday.
No. 25 Miami shot 3-pointers better than it has in any ACC game and got 15 points from reserve center Ebuka Izundu to beat the Wolfpack 86-81 at PNC Arena.
NC State (13-7, 3-4 in ACC), having defeated Duke and Clemson at home this month, lost a league game on its home court for the first time this season.
The Hurricanes (14-4, 3-3) entered the game having made 34.1 percent of their 3-pointers this season, including a frigid 29 percent in league play.
