With losses in five of its last eight regular-season games, Miami will attempt to build postseason momentum in the ACC Tournament. Miami is the fifth seed in the ACC Tournament and will play on Wednesday at 1:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time against the winner of 12th-seeded Stanford and 13th-seed California.
Miami won two out of three games at Stanford and against California in April. The series win over California was the sixth consecutive for Miami. Miami lost its final two games of a three-game series against North Carolina State, won two out of three games versus Louisville, and lost two of three to Florida State to end the regular season.
Miami earned a needed 7-4 victory in the final game of the regular season to clinch the fifth seed in the ACC Tournament. The Hurricanes finished the regular season with 36 wins and 17 losses overall and 16 victories and 14 defeats in the ACC.
Miami won 6-3 and 4-3 at Stanford and lost the final game of the series 14-6. California won the first game of the series against Miami 9-2, with the Hurricanes winning 4-3 and 4-1 in the final two games. Miami will likely need better offense to advance out of the second round of the ACC Tournament.
