Miami did not play North Carolina State or Wake Forest this season. The Hurricanes finished 7-5 this season against Atlantic Division teams this season winning three of their four series. Wake Forest won all three games at North Carolina State this weekend. The Demon Deacons outscored the Wolfpack 19-4 in the three games.

Miami has not advanced out of pool play to the ACC Tournament semifinals since 2017. Wake Forest enters the ACC Tournament 11th in the RPI and is very much in play to host an NCAA Tournament regional. North Carolina State is 42nd in the RPI after being dominated by Wake Forest this weekend.
