Do you remember how excruciating last year’s Selection Sunday was for the Miami Hurricanes? We all watched as the field of 68 was named one by one and as each school flashed onto the screen, the dagger was pushed in farther and farther as the Canes missed out.
Why didn’t we make it? Maybe it was the losses to some bad teams or not enough quality wins against top opponents, the answer is unclear. What we do know about last year’s team is there was just something missing and in the end, that cost them.
Sure, last year’s team had some serious talent, but they were inconsistent and lacked just a bit of grit when the going got tough.
