Huge game tonight for Canes Hoops. We beat Duke 76-74 at Cameron Indoor in our only matchup this season. A victory against Duke will be a Quad 1 victory, and could move us up a lot higher in the seeding for the NCAA tournament. #10 seed is where we fall right now according to most projections, but a win against Duke and a win in the Finals would be 2 huge Quad 1 wins that could move us up drastically.
If we lose tonight, we're still pretty much guaranteed a spot in the tourney, but we'd be a 10 or 11 seed, probably. ESPN has us in the Last 4 Byes today, which is different from yesterday. Our NET ranking is currently 63 dropping 2 spots from 61 after the BC win which was considered a Quad 3 win. Our record when broken down is 5-1 Quad 1, 4-5 Quad 2, 9-3 Quad 3, and 5-0 Quad 4.
Duke barely beat Syracuse, who was without their First-Team All-ACC G Buddy Boeheim. We can win tonight if we bring our A game, and avoid getting ourselves into a hole. This team has made some incredible comebacks this season from large deficits, but I hope we don't get into that type of situation tonight against Duke.
Duke is -9 and the O/U is 148. The game will be played on a neutral site at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, New York, where the entire ACC tournament will be held this year. I added this screenshot from teamrankings.com to give everyone an idea about Miami's bracketology projections.
Go Canes!
