Miami scheduling Barry as their opening game for an exhibition was a good challenge. The Buccaneers advanced to the NCAA Division Two Elite Eight last season. The DII Elite Eight is equivalent to reaching the Final Four in Division One.
Once Division Two gets down to its final eight teams they all gather in one location for the quarterfinals through the championship game, similar to Final Four in D1.
The Buccaneers are a better team than many of the teams on the Hurricanes non-conference schedule. Those games will count towards the UM record.
The Hurricanes got off to a great start with a 30-15 lead on a Davon Reed three-point field goal with seven minutes left in the first half.
