The Miami Hurricanes had just stunned second-ranked Louisville on the road last Sunday, in front of more than 12,000 fans and a national television audience; and coach Katie Meier reacted like the veteran coach that she is.
“I’m sure when I’m retired and sitting on the beach somewhere, I’ll think about this as the greatest win, but these wins can be canceled out really quick if you don’t focus on the next one,” Meier said in her post-game interview.
Turns out her words were prescient.
Four nights after that historic win — Miami’s first-ever against a top-three team — the 14th-ranked Hurricanes lost 73-65 on the road against unranked Virginia Tech, a team UM had beaten 15 times in a row.
