Storrs had five 3-pointers for 15 points and Shumpert and Jason Morris, who had 11 points, each added three long-range shots as Georgia Tech overcame a 10-point deficit in the second half. The Yellow Jackets had 12 3-pointers, one shy of their season high.
Georgia Tech (13-17 overall, 5-11 Atlantic Coast Conference) finished a disappointing regular season under coach Paul Hewitt with its first two-game winning streak since January.
Adrian Thomas had 14 points and Durand Scott had 13 for Miami (18-13, 6-10 ACC), which was hurt by 21 turnovers.
Maurice Miller had 14 points for Georgia Tech.
Miami led 37-27 early in the second half but couldn't stop Georgia Tech's 3-point shooting. The Yellow Jackets made 12 of 28 3-points. Their 42.9 percent shooting on 3s was far better than their season average of 29.6, last in the ACC.
Miami ranks 11th in the ACC with its minus-2.1 turnover margin. Georgia Tech attempted to take advantage of the Hurricanes' weakness by putting pressure on the ball early and leaning on Shumpert's shooting.
Shumpert hit three 3-pointers in the first 7 minutes and scored Georgia Tech's first 11 points as the Yellow Jackets led 14-5.
Miami answered with 12 straight points to take the lead.
Thomas, who averages 9.2 points, had 11 in the first half as Miami led 34-27 at the break.
Miami pushed its lead to 10 points when Malcolm Grant opened the second half with a 3-pointer. Miami then collapsed under the weight of its growing turnovers as Georgia Tech took the lead with a 20-4 run capped by Storrs' 3-pointer.
A crowd of 8,025 saw the final game in the 55-year history of Georgia Tech's home facility.
Georgia Tech will play at Philips Arena and the Gwinnett Arena next season as the coliseum is almost completely rebuilt on the existing site. The new facility will open in the 2012-13 season as the McCamish Pavilion.
Georgia Tech had poor attendance for its final season in the facility. The average home attendance of 5,967 entering Sunday's game ranked ahead of only Miami (5,189) and Boston College (5,276) in the ACC.
Georgia Tech, which beat Wake Forest 80-54 on Thursday night, closed the regular season with its first two-game winning streak since back-to-back wins over North Carolina and Wake Forest in mid-January.
