The Miami Hurricanes take on the Auburn Tigers at 7:45 pm today in Greenville, SC in the second round of the NCAA tournament. The Tigers present a tall task for Miami, given their roster and respective strengths. In order for Miami to overcome the odds and pull off the upset, they’ll need to find success in the following areas.
1) Limit opportunities in the post to Jabari Smith and Walker Kessler. USC’s length provided a challenge for Miami on Friday. Auburn’s will be even more difficult. Kessler is a 7’1” center who is a challenge on both ends of the floor.
