CORAL GABLES, Fla., Feb. 15 (UPI) -- Ty Lawson's fifth 3-pointer with 10.6 seconds left Sunday secured third-ranked North Carolina's 69-65 ACC victory at Miami-Florida.
Lawson led UNC's win with 21 points and four assists. He canned four 3-pointers in the second half and added two free throws in the closing seconds.
North Carolina spurted away from a 29-26 halftime lead by scoring 25 of the second half's first 39 points, but a 3-pointer by high-scoring Jack McClinton drew Miami within 54-48 with 9:16 left.
UNC was able to hold on down the stretch for its ninth straight win.
Wayne Ellington scored 15 with 10 rebounds and five assists. No other player scored in double figures for the Tar Heels (23-2, 9-2).
North Carolina all-American Tyler Hansbrough was held to just eight points.
McClinton led Miami with 35 points (7-of-12 on 3-pointers). Brian Asbury, the only other Miami player in double figures, scored 12 with three rebounds and four assists for the Hurricanes (15-9, 4-7), who have lost six of eight.
