CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Freshman Rion Brown scored 16 points to lead a balanced attack in Miami’s 79-59 victory over McNeese State on Wednesday night.
Brown, who shot 4 of 6 from 3-point range, was one of six Hurricanes to finish in double figures as Miami (3-2) rebounded from its second loss of the season Sunday at Rutgers.
The Hurricanes extended a 12-point halftime lead to 54-32 on two 3-pointers by Malcolm Grant and one apiece from Durand Scott and Garrius Adams during the first 3:14 of the second half.
Donovan Kirk’s jumper with 7:34 left gave the Hurricanes their biggest lead, 71-44.
Scott and Reggie Johnson scored 12 points each, while Adams added 11 and DeQuan Jones and Grant had 10 apiece.
