Good, but could have been better. That pretty well summarizes Miami’s Men’s Basketball non-conference results as the ‘Canes march into the new year and their conference schedule.
Rankings and Ratings
After 12 games, the ‘Canes are 10-2 (1-0, ACC) and have a:
- No. 37 ESPN Basketball Power Index (BPI) Rating
- No. 51 KenPom Ranking
- No. 52 Net Ranking; and
- Unranked, but receiving votes, in the AP Poll
The low Net Ranking is concerning because 52 is squarely in bubble territory, which is territory a defending Final Four team never wants to find itself.
