This will be Miami’s 5th-ever appearance in the Sweet 16. It’s the 1st time in program history that the Canes have reached this benchmark in back-to-back campaigns.

Miami will face No. 1-seeded Houston in Kansas City on Friday with a spot in the Elite Eight on the line. A tipoff time will be announced at a later date.
