The University of Miami men’s and women’s basketball programs each shared a season to remember, as both advanced further than any other Miami team ever has in the NCAA tournament.
Women’s head coach Katie Meier and her squad entered the tournament seeded 9th, defeating the likes of the 8th-seeded Oklahoma State Cowgirls, the number one seeded Indiana Hoosiers on their home court, and the 4-seed Villanova Wildcats on their way to the first Elite Eight appearance in Miami Hurricanes women’s basketball history, where they fell to the eventual NCAA champion LSU Tigers.
