Williams scored 21 points and Brandon Goode finished with 14 for the Spartans (12-10).
The Hurricanes overcame their only deficit and outscored Norfolk State 13-2 in the final 7:23 of the first half. Brown scored seven points during the run and his running jumper with 1:30 remaining put the Hurricanes ahead at halftime 31-21.
Norfolk State shot 1 of 9 from the field and had five turnovers in its late first-half scoring drought.
The Spartans ran off nine unanswered points during a 2:18 span midway through the first half for their first lead. Williams scored eight points, including two 3-pointers, in the spurt. Williams' second 3-pointer with 8:05 remaining ended the run and gave Norfolk State a 19-18 advantage.
Lecomte hit two 3-pointers early as Miami built a 15-8 lead 6:31 into the game. A 3-pointer from Brown with 10:40 remaining increased the Hurricanes lead to 18-10.
