Bracket Projection: Miami

After three starters graduated from last year's Sweet 16 team, people were quick to sell their Miami Hurricanes hoops stock. But the pundits should never underestimate Coach Jim Larranaga, an analytics-driven guy who has used metrics, his X's-and-O's acumen and his ability to recruit tough-as-nails East Coast guards to build a program that successfully battles the ACC bluebloods. He has plugged four freshmen into his nine-man rotation, including one of the ACC's best in stat-sheet-stuffing guard Bruce Brown, and his team earned another March Madness invite. Can the Hurricanes reach the Big Dance's second weekend for a second straight March?

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.
