GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Erykah Davenport had 16 points and eight rebounds and Endia Banks hit a late jumper to help Miami beat Wake Forest 68-60 on Thursday night in the second round of the ACC Tournament.
 
Keyanna Harris had 13 points, five rebounds and eight assists, while Emese Hof also scored 13 points, for the No. 6 seed Hurricanes. Miami (21-9) will play third-seeded and No. 11 Florida State in the quarterfinals on Friday.
 
Elisa Penna hit a 3 and converted a 3-point play to spark a 10-2 run that gave 11th-seeded Wake Forest (14-16) its only lead at 58-57 when Ona Udoh made a layup with 2:54 remaining. Harris made 1 of 2 free throws to give the Canes a four-point lead with 48 seconds left and, after Penna hit to foul shots on the other end, Banks hit a pull-up jumper — late in the shot clock — from just inside the 3-point line to make it 64-62.
 
Harris and Davenport each made two free throws in the final 14 seconds to seal it.
 
Penna and Alex Sharp scored 17 points apiece for the Demon Deacons.
