"More than 19,000 heartbroken North Carolina State fans filed out of the PNC Arena into the chilly night Saturday, silenced, gutted and in disbelief. They had just watched University of Miami center Reggie Johnson tip in the game-winning shot with 0.8 seconds remaining to give the 14th-ranked Hurricanes a 79-78 victory over the 19th-ranked Wolfpack.

Meanwhile, in the bowels of the arena, the UM celebration continued. Hurricane players, giddy and still admittedly stunned, emerged from their locker room to the cheers of about 100 family and friends decked in green and orange. Some had flown in from Miami, others drove in from nearby North Carolina towns.

There were hugs and high-fives all around. Players recorded the moment with their cellphones and couldn’t stop smiling.

The Little Team That Could had done it again. On the road. In front of a national TV audience and a hostile crowd that screamed its lungs out from the highest rafters. The Hurricanes improved to 17-3 and remain the only undefeated team in the Atlantic Coast Conference with an 8-0 record, including five wins on the road.

N.C. State was 12-0 at home heading into Saturday’s game, and UM had never won a game here."
