Projection: likely out
The season for Miami FL has been a roller coaster with a few notable highs tempered by significant lows. Early wins against teams like Kansas State show a flash of potential, and the victory over Clemson is a standout, illustrating that this squad can take down top-tier competition when they click. However, these moments are overshadowed by a series of tough losses, including getting outplayed by North Carolina twice, Boston College, and a disheartening loss to Louisville, indicating inconsistency. Tack on a brutal defeat by Duke and an inability to build momentum late in the season—evidenced by the loss to Boston College in the ACC Tournament—and it's clear the resume lacks the depth and consistent statement wins necessary to feel secure on Selection Sunday. The defensive efforts have been subpar against high-octane offenses, and these shortcomings are further highlighted in losses where the defense needed to step up. Offensively, while there have been bursts of firepower, they haven't been enough to counterbalance the defensive woes in key matchups.
