Miami led all the way but had to survive a shaky start to the second half before pulling away from Wofford for a 74-56 victory on Saturday at AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami.

Senior guard Ja'Quan Newton scored 15 points to lead four players in double figures for the Hurricanes (6-2), who went more than seven minutes without a field goal to start the second half.

That drought allowed the Terriers (2-6) to cut what had been an 18-point deficit early in the first half to 36-33 with 16:46 left in the game before Miami began to resume control.

Freshman guards DJ Vasiljevic and Bruce Brown hit back-to-back 3-pointers to give the Hurricanes their first field goals of the second half and a 48-34 cushion with just under 12 minutes left in the game.

Except for one brief moment when it was 52-43, the game remained in double digits the rest of the way. Miami's biggest lead was 18 points on two occasions in the final four minutes.

Sophomore forward Cameron Jackson scored 16 points to lead Wofford. Guard Fletcher Magee with 11 points was the only other Terriers player in double figures.

Miami senior forward Kamari Murphy had 14 points and 10 rebounds for his first double-double of the season and third of his career. Newton added a career-high nine assists. Brown finished with 12 points and guard Davon Reed with 11.

The game was the nightcap of a doubleheader in the second annual Hoophall Invitational sponsored by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Illinois beat VCU 64-46 in the opener.
