This evening, most of the sports world will be glued to their televisions to watch Auburn, Virginia, Michigan State and Texas Tech battle for spots in the National Championship game of college basketball. Up until a week ago, both Auburn and Texas Tech were in the same boat as the Canes Hoops team, having never been to the Final Four. Texas Tech came close last year, falling in the Elite Eight to eventual champions Villanova, while Auburn made a second round exit in 2018. Seeing programs like Auburn and Texas Tech make the leap should give hope for Miami fans, after having only three Sweet 16 appearances to show for the last 34 seasons.
