Well, this is a bit insane. The University of Miami — for the past 40 years “the football school” — climbed to the top of college basketball on Friday. On this day in history, UM owned the NCAA Tournament and March Madness. Might not last. Might not even last the weekend. But it happened. UM fans didn’t dream it. It was real.
The Hurricanes men’s team stunned No. 1 Houston Friday night in Kansas City, and comfortably, 89-75, to advance from the Sweet 16 to the Elite Eight and leave no top seeds on the men’s side of this NCAA tourney.
That was just a few hours after the UM women upset Villanova to also go Sweet to Elite for the first time in the history of that program.
