CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Isaiah Wong scored 22 points and No. 16 Miami beat Boston College 88-72. The junior guard went 7 for 9 from the field, shaking off a miserable performance in Miami’s 76-70 loss at Georgia Tech last week, when Wong had only six points on 1-of-11 shooting. Jordan Miller added 19 points, Harlond Beverly scored 15 and Norchard Omier had 13 points and 12 rebounds for the Hurricanes. Miami shot 12 for 18 from behind the arc and never trailed after a 13-0 run midway through the first half. DeMarr Langford finished with 20 points and Makai Ashton-Langford added 19 for the Eagles.
