Join our March Madness conversation!
Drop in SB Nation’s March Madness open thread during Friday’s games where we’ll be talking about all the wild upsets, buzzer beaters, and Cinderella runs!
SB Nation’s cast of characters will be enjoying the game together, so join Chris Dobbertean, Mike Rutherford, Ricky O’Donnell, Mark Schofield, James Dator, and others for 12 hours of basketball chaos!
The mantra in March is “survive and advance”, and Miami did just that with an 80-66 win over Mizzou in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Moving forward, the Canes are headed to a matchup with the 2-seed Purdue Boilermakers, one of the favorites to get to the Final Four. And the opening line tells that story:
Miami will need to play one of their best games of the year to pull an upset over a Purdue team that just hung 100+ points on their opening round opponent. We’ve seen the Canes win some big games this year, but this one would take an effort and performance we’ve yet to see against a team of this caliber.
But hey, anything can happen, so let’s go win!
See you Sunday!
