Print ArticleUM Hurricanes Get Number-Two Seed in March Madness. Why the Disrespect?
Categories: Sports
 |
But Sunday was far from perfect. After cutting down the hoops, UM took a body shot: Instead of entering March Madness as one of the tournament's four number-one seeds, UM was selected as a two seed.
It's the first time the ACC regular season and tournament champion has failed to grab a number-one spot. Selection Sunday was also the latest example of the college hoops establishment's reluctance to hand the Hurricanes the respect they deserve.
UM's Jim Larranaga Named ACC Coach of the Year
Categories: Sports

By coaxing that kind of performance out of a team he inherited only two seasons ago, Larranaga was a strong contender for the award. The only surprise is how thoroughly the coach clinched. There were 77 votes for the honor, and 75 went to Larranaga. The remaining two went to Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and UNC's Roy Williams.

The silver lining the 'Canes can pull from the numbers is that the AP pollsters' ruling on the Duke win was a big, resounding "meh." The Blue Devils remain at number three, a slot they seem to be keeping by dint of Ryan Kelly alone. That, and the unsaid dictum written in the NCAA bylaws that "a space in the AP top ten shall forevereth be reserved for the Blue Devils in all perpetuity."

India Paulino of Pembroke Pines was runner-up in 2012 and snagged the top spot this year.
Nathalia Melo of Fort Lauderdale came in fifth last year and jumped to second.
According to the Arnold Classic's website, the event has 18,000 competitors in 45-plus sports, and 175,000 people come as spectators. Arnold Schwarzenegger is its namesake and co-promoter. The event is described as a proving ground for many Olympic sports like fencing and weightlifting.
Sixteen women were in the Bikini International competition (not to be confused with the "Amateur Bikini" or "Fitness & Figure" categories).

I am sort of a goofball, I love to have fun and am very spontaneous and random! lol I am not sure if I am a girly girl or a tom boy. I love all of the girly things like makeup, shoppinig, heels but I also love wrestling, shooting, and anything that gets my adrenaline going!!
UM vs. Duke: Basketball Recap & Kenny Kadji's Monster Dunk

That was University of Miami basketball coach Jim Larranaga's message to his team before Saturday's showdown with No. 3 Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, N.C. And while the Canes couldn't quite complete the regular season sweep, falling to the Blue Devils 76-79, Miami was part of what may have been the college basketball game of the year.
It had everything you could ask for. And more.
High Stakes? No. 5 playing No. 3 for a chance to win the ACC outright for the first time in school history. Check.
A thrilling finish? Duke led by 10 with less than two minutes to go in the contest and Miami scratched and clawed its way back with a chance to send the game into overtime on the final possession (and coming darn close too with Rion Brown's 3-point attempt from the corner hitting the rim as time expired). Check.

The Hurricanes' first lost in 2013 didn't come from Duke, UNC or any other ACC heavies predicted to take down the squad. The team lost on the road at Wake Forest, 80-65. Predictably, the outcome had an impact on the latest men's hoops rankings. The Hurricanes ranked fifth in this week's Associated Press poll, dropping down from an all-time-high number two the previous week.

Unlike high-wire finesse wins over Duke and UNC, the Hurricanes recent match-ups against ACC competition like Florida State, Clemson, and now Virginia have all been mud-splattered and grimy, tough low-scoring endurance tests that show the Hurricanes can dog it out equally as well as they can execute perfectly played pretty ball.
Yesterday's game came down to the last 15 seconds of play.

University of Miami Basketball Jumps Again in AP Poll

On Saturday, the senior-strong squad was definitely making the case. Running almost pitch-perfect on offense and jamming up the University of North Carolina's usually fleet attack, the Hurricanes ended up putting away the Tar Heels 87-61. The performance added another win to the team's 10-0 ACC record. With two losses hitting top five teams over the weekend, why the hell shouldn't Miami land in the top spot come Monday? ran the hopeful thinking.

"Any public investment we entertain, we must have a return, a clear public purpose," said Mayor Carlos Giménez. "If Broward chooses not to participate then even though they will get benefit because the stadium is so far north, then most of the benefit needs to come to Miami-Dade.
"We're putting the money where our mouth is."
