Miami 71, Florida State 47: Guard Shane Larkin scored eight points, grabbed nine rebounds and dished off six assists as the host Hurricanes won their seventh straight game while also remaining unbeaten in the ACC.
Trey McKinney Jones finished with a game-high 15 points and Durand Scott and Kenny Kadji added 11 points each for Miami (15-3, 6-0 ACC), which is 6-0 in conference play for the first time in school history. The Hurricanes played as an independent before joining the Big East for the 1991-92 season.
Guard Ian Miller scored 12 points for Florida State (11-8, 3-3), which shot 30.8 percent from the floor and never led in the game, while All-American guard Michael Snaer finished with four points on 2-of-5 shooting.
Florida State, coming off a dramatic 60-57 come-from-behind victory over Clemson on Thursday, kept the game close for the first 17 minutes and trailed by two points 28-26 after a 3-pointer by Terry Whisnant with 3:19 remaining before halftime. But Miami, with Jones scoring five points, started to pull away with a 9-2 run en route to a 37-28 halftime edge.
Miami blew the game open with a 17-3 run midway through the second half to make it 58-35, and Florida State never got any closer than 17 points the rest of the way.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Miami improved to 9-0 at the BankUnited Center this season. ... The game was a sellout, which marked the first time the Hurricanes have had back-to-back sellouts at the BankUnited Center. Miami also sold out Wednesday night's 90-63 upset of No. 1 Duke. ... Florida State finished with just six assists on 16 field goals.
