In one of those games that might hurt them come NCAA tournament selection time, the Miami Hurricanes could not hang on to a late lead and fell 75-70 at Maryland Tuesday.

Maryland trailed 66-61 before rallying with a 10-0 run during the final two minutes. A 3-point shot by Sean Mosley and a three-point play by JamesPadgett preceded two three throws by Mosley and two more by Terrell Stoglin

Kenny Kadji scored 16 for the Hurricanes (16-10, 7-6 ACC).

After Durand Scott connected for Miami with 9:07 remaining, the Hurricanes didn’t make another field goal until Shane Larkin canned a layup with 16.9 seconds left. Despite the drought, Miami kept finding its way to the foul line and held a five-point lead with 2:04 remaining.

A 3-pointer by Mosley cut the Hurricanes’ lead to 66-64 with 1:37 to go. After Miami missed twice, Padgett was fouled on a follow-shot and made the free throw for a 67-66 lead with 44 seconds to play.

Scott then lost the handle on the basketball and fouled out trying to get it back from Mosley, who sank two free throws for a three-point cushion.

Another Miami turnover followed, and Stoglin made two at the line to clinch it.

Maryland trailed 56-49 with 9:07 remaining before Alex Len made successive dunks and Ashton Pankey hit a jumper off the glass to cut the gap to one point. Seconds later, a tip-in by Len tied it at 57, setting the stage for another thrilling finish between these two teams.

Earlier this month, Miami beat the Terps at home in double overtime.

The Hurricanes overcame an early 10-point deficit to take a 35-31 halftime lead, in part because of a 21-14 rebounding advantage that included seven on the offensive end

Kenny Kadji and Durand Scott scored 18 points each to lead Miami to a 74-56 victory over Wake Forest Saturday afternoon.

It was tied 34-34 at the break. The Hurricanes (16-9, 7-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) scored 13 unanswered points during a 4:29 span early in the second half. Shane Larkin’s 3-pointer with 11:44 left ended the run and gave Miami a 56-42 advantage.

C.J. Harris’ lay-up with 11:31 remaining ended the Deacons’ drought. Miami outscored Wake Forest 10-4 in the next 3:31 behind consecutive 3-pointers from Kadji and Garrius Adams for a 64-48 lead.

Reggie Johnson’s layup with 5:42 remaining gave the Hurricanes their first 20-point lead at 70-50.

The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Hurricanes (16-9, 7-5 ACC).

Harris scored 14 points to lead Wake Forest, which has lost seven of its last eight. The Deacons (12-15, 3-10) shot 52 percent from the field in the first half but 30 in the second half.

The Hurricanes have still never beaten the Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels in the same season.

Harrison Barnes scored 14 of his 23 points in the second half, and John Henson added 16 points and 13 boards as North Carolina rallied from eight points down to beat the Miami Hurricanes in Coral Gables 73-64 Wednesday.

Miami led from the 12:54 mark in the first half, when Kenny Kadji's jumper gave the Hurricanes an 11-10 lead through the rest of the first half, taking a 35-30 lead into the intermission.

The Canes actually stretched their lead to 44-36 less than five minutes after halftime. However, a 11-2 run midway through the second would give the Tar Heels back in the lead three minutes later.

Carolina stretched the lead to eight after a pair of free throws by Kendall Marshall, a three pointer and a runner by Barnes, and another three by Reggie Bullock with under seven minutes to play, and never looked back.

Durand Scott led Miami with 15 points, while Kadji ended with 13 points and 6 rebounds.

The loss drops Miami to 15-9 and just 6-5 in the ACC.

The Hurricanes will next host Wake Forest Saturday.
