Miami (Fla.) 63, Richmond 61: Sheldon McClellan scored 16 points as the visiting Hurricanes rallied to stun the Spiders to earn a spot in the NIT's Final Four.

Davon Reed posted 10 points and 12 rebounds as Miami (24-12) overcame an early 13-2 deficit and a second-half hole of 36-18 to advance to the semifinals at Madison Square Garden on March 31, where it faces Temple or Louisiana Tech. Ja'Quan Newton contributed 11 points off the bench, while Tonye Jekiri grabbed 10 rebounds for the second-seeded Hurricanes.

Miami erased an 11-point deficit with less than seven minutes left by making 14 straight free throws and getting several big shots from its star player.

The Hurricanes did not reach double figures until McClellan's jumper with 5 1/2 minutes left in the first half brought them within 21-10, although Anthony found Allen for a transition layup at the buzzer to send the Spiders into the locker room with a 30-18 cushion. Miami only managed two field goals in the first nine minutes of the second half, but Richmond totaled one bucket over a nearly 10-minute stretch to pave the way for the visitors' comeback.
