No. 14 Miami holds off Wake Forest to reach ACC semifinals

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) Miami coach Jim Larrañaga breathed a sigh of relief, reiterating a popular saying this time of the year: “It's about surviving and advancing.”

The Hurricanes did just that Thursday, barely.

Jordan Miller had 18 points and nine rebounds for No. 14 Miami, which held off a furious comeback by Wake Forest - down 18 points in the second half - to earn a 74-72 victory in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament.
