UM Secures NCAA Bid

I'll write a more detailed explanation in a bit, but for now I have to keep it short. Blogger is about to go down in 6 minutes for maintenance. Before that happened, I wanted to mention that UM's basketball team easily dispatched of NC State 63-50 and heads to the 2nd round to face Va Tech.

The win ensures Miami will make it as the 4th ACC team in the NCAA Tournament. FSU also won and will now face UNC, needing a win or two more to land a bubble spot as well. At this point, Miami has no pressure on them to win, and they should play it cool. Keep winning and they'll be rewarded with a higher seed. At this point, I would prefer they end up with a 5 or 12 seed rather than a 6-11. The former means that with a victory, the worst we'd face in the 2nd round would be a 4 seed.

If we get a 7 or 8 seed, then we'd get bounced by UNC or Memphis in the 2nd round. 6 or 10 seed and we get blasted by a Texas. You get the point. Wish hard for something that avoids the major powers until the Sweet 16.
