The Hurricanes final week of the season has them at least in the discussion for a NCAA Tournament bid. They swept Virginia Tech in a three-game series at Mark Light Field, then defeated Georgia Tech and Wake Forest to win their pool in the ACC Tournament and advance to the semifinals.

The few sites that do baseball bracketology have Miami in the NCAA Tournament. Baseball America, the preeminent site for College Baseball said of the Hurricanes:

"“After back-to-back trips to Omaha, Miami was going to go through some growing pains this spring. The Hurricanes lost the core of those Omaha teams to the draft, and with a young team still searching for an identity, the opening weeks of the season were a struggle. But the Hurricanes have grown up quickly, and suddenly, after being on the outside looking in, Miami has the look of an NCAA tournament team. The Canes came back late against Wake Forest on Friday, rallying against closer Griffin Roberts to win, 5-2, and advance to the ACC tournament semifinals. With the win, Miami’s RPI surged to No. 39. With the Canes now safely above .500 and a couple of marquee wins added to their resume, expect to hear their name called on Monday.”"
