Miami returns to the NCAA Tournament on Friday versus Alabama in the Hattiesburg, Mississippi Regional after missing the 2024 postseason. The Hurricanes enter the 2025 NCAA Tournament with losses in six of their previous seven games. Miami is making its 47th NCAA Tournament appearance with an all-time record of 202-107.
Alabama is making its 29th NCAA Tournament appearance. The Crimson Tide has a 74-55 all-time record in the NCAA Tournament. Alabama is 41-16 overall and finished 16-14 in the SEC, tying for seventh with Mississippi and Tennessee. Alabama was eliminated in two games in the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
Miami third baseman Daniel Cuvet earned first-team All-ACC, pitcher Griffin Hugus was named to the second-team and pitcher A.J. Ciscar was named to the All-Freshman team in 2025. Alabama outfielder Kade Snell and relief pitcher Carson Ozmer were named first-team All-SEC.
Alabama has a big offensive and fielding edge in every category except strikeouts and stolen bases. Miami has the edge in nearly every pitching category with the notable exception of strikeouts. Miami is going to need good pitching performances and great production from Cuvet in the NCAA Tournament.
