Looks like our Canes will be playing Nova. Tough to even tell much about Nova from this game because Iowa is playing so bad. Nova puts a lot of pressure on you but Miami has much better guard play than Iowa.

Always has been, but never been sold on their coaching.

5 ties the record and 6 breaks it.

None of this includes Louisville either. Crazy year and all we hear about is the Big 10/12.

The success of the ACC in the NCAAT is more evidence of what a great year Miami (FL) had.

Nonetheless though, the level of consistency the league has shown to this point is remarkable, as the league has not just avoided upsets but instead flat out thrived in proving its level of play. And in return of this terrific level of play, the league is going to reap heavy financial benefits over the next six years. CNBC currently values the level of a Sweet 16 payout for a school at $5.2 million, to be distributed evenly among the conference. Multiply that $5.2 million number by six, and you come out to right around $31.2 million, which will go to help college basketball's most storied league get even richer over the next few years.

Hopefully the potatoes REINVEST it.
