Florida State rallies to beat No. 23 Miami 55-54

The junior had one of his best games of the season, scoring 18 points on 7-of-7 shooting, and Florida State rallied from a 16-point first-half deficit to beat No. 23 Miami 55-54 on Sunday. Florida State (12-10, 4-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) won despite three of its starters struggling from the floor. Brandon had 12 second-half points and Kiel Turpin added six of his 10 after halftime for the Seminoles, who shot 53.7 percent. Davon Reed misfired on a jumper with 1:08 to go, and McClellan was off on the potential game-winning shot. Brandon sparked the second-half comeback with a steal and a dunk, a 3-pointer and another steal and dunk to cut Miami's lead to 38-34 with 17:02 to go. Florida State had lost four of five before bouncing back with an 82-76 win over Wake Forest, rallying from 15 points down for the double-overtime victory Wednesday. [...] the Seminoles have won back-to-back games after double-digit comebacks. Miami junior Tonye Jekiri has had four double-doubles in his last nine games and was averaging 8.4 points and 10.3 rebounds going into Sunday.
