NEW YORK (AP) — Sheldon McClellan scored 12 of his 16 points in the second half, and short-handed Miami rallied to beat Temple 60-57 on Tuesday to reach the NIT championship game.

Already without point guard Angel Rodriguez, the Hurricanes lost center Tonye Jekiri to injury early on and trailed by 11 late in the first half.

The Owls’ Quenton DeCosey was off on a potential tying 3-pointer at the buzzer.

After missing six of his first eight shots, McClellan hit two 3s in a row with about eight minutes left to put Miami in front for good. The Hurricanes held Temple to 30.2 percent shooting in the second half.

Chasson Randle had 24 points to become Stanford’s alltime leading scorer and carry the Cardinal to a victory over Old Dominion in the NIT semifinals Tuesday.

Stanford blew a 21-point first-half lead but rallied behind its senior star, who played through foul trouble to make a string of big second-half shots.

The Cardinal (23-13) led 15-0 when Old Dominion finally scored its first points nearly five minutes in and were up 25-4 midway through the first half. But the deficit was just six at halftime after Richard Ross’ dunk with six seconds left.
