Charlie Moore banked in a buzzer-beating three-pointer from half court to give visiting Miami a 78-75 win over Virginia Tech in an ACC game Wednesday night in Blacksburg, Va.

Miami (15-5, 7-2) has won 11 of its past 13 games.

Hurricanes guard Kameron McGusty led all scorers with 19 points on 7-for-14 shooting. Hurricanes wing Jordan Miller, who entered the game averaging 8.4 points, scored 18 points on 7-for-9 shooting.

Moore had 13 points, six assists and a game-high five steals. Miami also got 12 points each from Isaiah Wong and Sam Waardenburg.

The Hokies (10-10, 2-7), who have lost three straight games, were led by Keve Aluma, who had 14 points.

Virginia Tech's Justyn Mutts, who was scoreless in the first half, finished with nine points, a game-high 10 rebounds and a game-high eight assists.

Miami trailed early but went on a 12-0 run and held on for a 36-31 at the break.

In that first half, Miami forced 11 turnovers and had an 18-3 advantage on points off miscues. Miami also shot 51.9 percent from the floor, and was 4 of 9 on three-pointers.

The Hokies shot just 40.0 percent from the floor, but they stayed in the game in two ways. They shot 7-for-16 on three-pointers, and they outrebounded Miami 18-10, including 6-1 on the offensive boards.

Miller led all first-half scorers with 14 points.

The Hokies started the second half on a 5-0 run, retaking the lead, which changed hands several times the rest of the way.

With 13:19 left, Hunter Cattoor made a four-point play, giving the Hokies a 48-47 lead.

Mutts finally got on the board with a shot in the lane with 11:18 left. On Tech's next possession, he drained a three-pointer, giving the Hokies a 55-54 lead.

Miami trailed 75-70 with 2:24 left. But Miller made a layup and Wong was fouled while shooting a three-pointer, and he made all three free throws with 69 seconds remaining. That tied the score, 75-75.

The Hokies had a chance to take the lead late, but Cattoor missed a three-pointer with four seconds left. Miller grabbed the rebound and called timeout with1.5 seconds remaining. That set up Moore's heroics.
