MIAMI — Destiny Harden has been around college basketball long enough to know that the Miami Hurricanes are still considered underdogs against Villanova in the Sweet 16 Friday afternoon, even though they stunned top-seeded Houston on their home floor four days ago in one of the most thrilling games so far this March.
That’s fine, Harden said. They are happy to let the Wildcats and the nation’s leading scorer Maddie Siegrist shoulder the pressure in Greenville, S.C.
“We’re always going to be the underdogs, we’re the 9 seed in the NCAA Tournament right now and going against a No. 4 seed,” Harden said. “We’re just going to continue to play with a chip on our shoulder.
