Miami went to Raleigh with three Quad 1 wins. Thanks to the victory over NC State and some help from Malik Reneau, they’ll leave town with four.
Miami’s 77-76 win over NC State counts as a Quad 1 since it took place on the Wolfpack’s court. NC State came in 3-5 in Quad 1, while Miami, technically a Quad 2 team on the road, just improved their resume. The loss hurts NC State and moves the Hurricanes back up to fourth in the conference, ahead of the Wolfpack after last week’s standings were reversed.
After beating UNC on Tuesday and NC State on Saturday, Miami went from zero to two tournament-caliber wins in one week. The Canes already had a solid metric profile, but these added wins will likely push them from the last four in to an 8/9 seed range.
Looking ahead, Miami has Virginia Tech, Virginia, Florida State, and Boston College on the schedule. That sets up a real path: 24–5 heading into the SMU game or 25–5 heading into Louisville. Big stretch ahead, and the opportunity is right there.
According to ESPN, with the win over NC State, Miami now has a 91% chance to make the NCAA Tournament.
Here’s a look at Miami’s remaining schedule and where the games currently rank on the team sheet. Keep in mind NET rankings will change in the morning.
