Jim Larrañaga would have none of it on Friday afternoon. None.
On the day before his Hurricanes were set to take on 11th-seeded Wichita State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the veteran Miami coach wasn't about to let anyone downplay the kind of challenge the Shockers, a Final Four team three years ago, would pose to his third-seeded Hurricanes.
Not after the way Wichita State, a First Four team, has played in the postseason, and not with veterans like senior Fred VanVleet and redshirt senior Ron Baker on the roster.
