Grant's game-winner Lifts Pack to 79-77 Upset in OT

Gavin Grant's backcourt steal and layup with 2.1 seconds remaining in overtime gave NC State a 79-77 victory over No. 21 Miami Saturday night at the RBC Center. Gant, who scored 18 of his 24 points in the second half, had just missed a drive to the basket with the Wolfpack trailing by two points. But freshman teammate J.J. Hickson was there for the put back with 3.9 seconds to play. Then, Miami's Anthony King tried to inbound the ball to teammate Jack McClinton, but threw it right to Grant instead.
