2023 March Madness bracket
The Hurricanes will face the No. 2 Texas Longhorns or the No. 3 Xavier Musketeers in the Elite Eight round of the 2023 NCAA Tournament. The game will take place on Sunday, March 26 at KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky. The tip-off time will be announced later on Friday.
The Canes have Miami split the first two games of the series against Texas, but the Hurricanes fell short in a second round matchup in the 2008 NCAA Tournament 75-72. Miami lost the previous matchup as well 123-104 in the 1988-89 season after winning the first ever contest 85-56 the year prior.
If it's Xavier, Miami will look to keep the series lead over Xavier after winning two of the first three contests. The Canes beat the Musketeers 77-75 in 1955-56 and 87-69 in 1959-60, but Xavier picked up a win in the most recent matchup. Xavier won 83-70 in November of the 2004-05 season.
