Bracket Projection: Miami

The Miami Hurricanes -- known to some as "the U" -- is more of a hoops power than a gridiron giant these days. The Canes have thrived under the leadership of Jim Larranaga, an analytics-driven guy (heck, he majored in economics at Providence College) who has used metrics and X's and O's acumen to build a team that successfully battles the ACC blue bloods. The Canes have been a top-25 fixture all season and possess the necessary attributes to be a tough out in the Big Dance. Can this experienced bunch continue to build their hardwood legacy at this football-crazy school with a trip to the Final Four?

ESPN Insider has your answers, as Joe Lunardi has enlisted a team of Bracketologists to compile advanced metrics, key scouting intel and best- and worst-case tournament scenarios for all 68 teams to help you make smart picks in your bracket.
