Box Score CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The Norfolk State men's basketball team was held to a season low for points in a 64-49 loss to the University of Miami Saturday afternoon at the BankUnited Center.

The Hurricanes had four different players score in double figures and went just seven-deep. Senior Pendarvis Williams posted a 21-point effort for NSU, which was also without leading scorer Malcolm Hawkins on the afternoon.

Senior Brandon Goode had a solid outing as well for NSU with 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting with seven rebounds. Williams and Goode combined for 35 of the team's 49 points.

The Spartans fell to 12-10 on the year following their last non-conference game of the year, while Miami improved to 11-10.

The Hurricanes controlled the offensive glass early on and hit several 3-pointers for a 15-8 lead to start the game. Williams scored the last seven points of a 9-0 NSU run, the last two after a nice crossover from just inside the arc. That gave the Spartans their only lead of the game, 19-18.

Miami, though, scored the next six points, part of a 13-2 run to close out the half.

Brown responded with a trey on the next possession, and Miami led by at least 12 the rest of the way.

NSU hit 18-of-56 (32.1 percent) from the floor on the afternoon and committed just nine turnovers.

Miami connected on 18-of-43 (41.9 percent), including 8-of-22 from beyond the arc.
