Miami Never Trails in 75-66 Win over No. 11 North Carolina

On Tuesday, the Miami Hurricanes men's basketball team defeated North Carolina 75-66 in a convincing, non-flukey performance.
The third Quad 1 win for Miami helped its bracketology prospects, despite initial suggestions of limited impact, as Selection Sunday approaches.
Despite beating a top-11 opponent, Miami remained a projected No. 11 seed, with coach Jai Lucas at 19-6 overall and 8-3 in the ACC, after inheriting a 7-24 team.
The win moved Miami out of the 'Last Four In,' boosting its Selection Sunday prospects and strengthening the ACC's bid picture with eight teams, according to CBS Sports Bracketology.
Looking across the bubble, Virginia Tech faces a pivotal road stretch with resume-boosting chances at Clemson, at North Carolina and at Miami that could change its Next Four Out status.
