Checking in on Miami’s NCAA Tournament Projections: February 7

Good afternoon, folks...

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know the Miami Hurricanes toppled the Duke Blue Devils 81-59 last night at the Watsco Center. Our Mike Schiffman wrote about it here.

With the win, Miami knocked off two teams currently projected in the field of 64 (I’ll still call it that as long as they don’t add more rounds/teams) in just over 48 hours. That’s a heck of a feather in their cap for this week. The Canes now sit at 19-5 and 10-4 in the ACC. If not for the terrible, no-good loss at Georgia Tech (a quad 3 loss), this team would be in wildly-good shape for a top 4 seed.

But they did, and it is what it is. So where do the Canes check in with those paid to write…
