Nijel Pack burned his former school by scoring 20 of his game-high-tying 28 points in the first half to lead No. 12 Miami past Kansas State 91-83 to win the Baha Mar Hoops Championship on Sunday afternoon in Nassau, Bahamas.

Pack, who was a first-team All-Big 12 player at Kansas State before transferring to Miami last season, made 9 of 16 shots from the floor, including 7 of 12 3-pointers.

With the victory, the Hurricanes (5-0) won the four-team Baha Mar championship. They defeated Georgia in the first round.

Miami, which advanced to the Final Four last season, also got 23 points and a team-high seven rebounds from Norchad Omier; 15 points each from Matthew Cleveland and Wooga Poplar; and a game-high seven assists from Bensley Joseph.

Wildcats guard Tylor Perry, who entered the game averaging a team-high 21.5 points, was held in check. He scored 10 points on 4-for-13 shooting overall, including 1-for-9 on 3-pointers. Miami limited his free throws to just one on a technical foul with 20 seconds left, and Omier, who is 50 pounds heavier, leveled Perry with a legal pick late in the second half.

Arthur Kaluma had a double-double for Kansas State, scoring 18 points and grabbing a game-high 12 rebounds.

Kansas State's Darrin Ames missed the game due to a suspension following his fight with Providence's Garwey Dual in Friday's opening-round game.
