Hurricanes earn No. 5 seed in NCAA tournament, will face Drake in first round; FAU earns second-ever trip to tournament

The Hurricanes are going dancing again.

Miami, which ended the regular season as ACC co-champions, earned a No. 5 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Hurricanes will face 12th-seeded Drake (27-7) in the first round of the tournament on Friday in Albany, New York.

If Miami wins its first-round game, it would face the winner of the Indiana-Kent State game on March 19.

The Hurricanes were not the only South Florida team to earn a spot in the tournament. Florida Atlantic (31-3) is a No. 9 seed in the East region and will face Memphis (26-8) in Columbus, Ohio, on Friday.
