RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) C.J. Bryce scored 12 of his 16 points in the second half, and NC State beat Florida International 86-77 on Wednesday night.

They had the ball trailing by six points in the final minute before Cameron Corcoran missed a 3-pointer and Markell Johnson hit a free throw with 42.2 seconds remaining to put NC State up 81-74.

Brewer was called for double dribbling with 28.9 seconds left, Bryce hit a free throw with 27.9 seconds to play, Antonio Daye Jr. turned it over on FIU's next possession and Bryce pushed the lead to 84-74 with two free throws with 21.5 seconds to play.

NC State also built a 38-31 rebounding advantage, turning that into 20 second-chance points to just seven for the Panthers.
