Welcome back to March Madness Miami Hurricanes hoops fans!
Following a 25-8 regular season (including ACC tournament), the Canes are back in March Madness as a 7 seed. First year coach Jai Lucas has the team playing well, with Malik Reneau, Tre Donaldson, Shelton Henderson, Ernest Udeh Jr, and Tru Washington leading the way.
The Canes’ opponent tonight is the team that travels the shortest distance of any for their NCAA tournament site: the 10th seeded Missouri Tigers. Sporting a 20-12 record on the year, Mizzou enters the tournament on a 3-game losing streak.
Here’s a snapshot on how the teams match up heading into tonight’s game:
And here’s a hype video for the game, narrated by former Canes star Jordan Miller (who, incidentally, just started his first NBA game last night for the Clippers).
Been a couple of years, but we’re back in the tournament. I know it’s a late tip, but let’s enjoy the action and dissect it together!
Comment, discuss, (and hopefully celebrate) with your internet friends as we watch the Miami Hurricanes’ return to the NCAA Basketball tournament.
