CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) Nijel Pack scored 20 of his 25 points in the second half, Matthew Cleveland and Norchad Omier each added 23 and Miami beat No. 16 Clemson 95-82 on Wednesday night to improve to 9-0 at home this season.

Kyshawn George and Bensley Joseph each added 12 for the Hurricanes (11-2, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who are 7-3 against ranked opponents since the start of last season. Pack scored 13 of Miami's points in a 21-6 run that gave the Hurricanes a nine-point lead with 10 minutes left, and they stayed up the rest of the way.

Joseph Girard III scored 18 points and PJ Hall scored 17 before fouling out for Clemson (11-2, 1-1). Chase Hunter scored 16 for the Tigers - who led by six at the half, by eight early in the second half and were seeking their first 12-1 start since the 2017-18 season.

Instead, the defense simply fell apart. Miami made 12 of 14 shots in an 11-minute stretch of the second half and wound up shooting 75% - 21 for 28 - in the final 20 minutes.

And it was with a new lineup for the Hurricanes. Wooga Poplar, Miami's second-leading scorer, missed the game with a sprained ankle. George started in his place and got all 12 of his points on 3-pointers.

Chauncey Wiggins scored 12 and Ian Schieffelin had 11 for Clemson.

POLL IMPLICATIONS

Clemson has appeared in each of the last five polls and a loss on the road to a team that was ranked as high as No. 8 earlier this season likely won't knock the Tigers out of the rankings. But the North Carolina game on Saturday will surely play a major role in the decisions of voters before the next poll comes out Monday.
