March Madness: Miami gets 21 from Pack to rally past Drake

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) With Miami's season on the line, the Hurricanes' leaders got together and insisted their NCAA Tournament wasn't going to end with an early loss to a double-digit seed.

Nijel Pack, Wooga Poplar and Norchad Omier made sure the season continued for fifth-seeded Miami.

Pack scored 21 points - including the go-ahead jumper and a pair of free throws in the final minute - to rally the Canes past Drake 63-56 in the first round on Friday night.
