The Hurricanes needed the ball to bounce their way in the second half to win the game, and they got a break with about one minute left in the game. Norchad Omier battled for an offensive rebound with Brock Cunningham, and it was the Longhorns forward who got called for a foul.

Omier then hit two key free throws to put the Hurricanes up two points, 81-79. He then poked the ball away on the other end, forcing Longhorns guard Marcus Carr to lose the ball. Miami would recover and Isaiah Wong was fouled and made two free throws to put Miami up four points.

The Hurricanes were down eight points at the half. Miami used a 13-2 run to take the lead with 5:26 left in the second half and effectively get back into the game and put pressure on the Longhorns to continuously make tough shots.
