CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Davon Reed scored 19 points to lead Miami to a 93-77 victory over Louisiana Monday night.
The Hurricanes (2-0) were never threatened after they stretched a 1-point lead and outscored the Ragin’ Cajuns 15-4 during a 5:17 span midway through the first half. Ivan Cruz-Uceda’s 3-pointer and mid-range jumper keyed the run. Anthony Lawrence’s layup with 9:23 remaining ended the spurt and gave Miami a 27-15 lead.
Lawrence’s 3-pointer from the top of the key with 3:31 left in the half increased Miami’s lead to 41-21.
Reed shot 6-of-8 from the field, including 4-of-5 from 3-point range and was one of six Miami players, who scored in double figures. Cruz Uceda, who finished with 13 points, converted on 3-of-5 from behind the arc.
Angel Rodriguez finished with 18 points and Sheldon McClellan scored 16 points for the Hurricanes. Lawrence and Jaquan Newton scored 12 and 11 points, respectively.
Reed’s 3-pointer 4:37 into the second half gave the Hurricanes their second 20-point advantage at 56-36.
The Ragin’ Cajuns (1-1) reduced an 18-point deficit with six straight points late in the second. Shawn Long’s free throw with 6:08 got Louisiana Lafayette within 78-66.
Miami responded with five unanswered points on Reed’s dunk and three free throws from Lawrence in the next 1:45.
Long finished with 21 points and 12 rebounds for the Ragin’ Cajuns.
