UM Hurricanes women’s basketball team nabs a ninth seed at the NCAA Tournament

A year filled with a slew of signature wins and a late-season NCAA probe will end with a trip to the NCAA tournament for the Miami Hurricanes.

For the second straight season, Miami is going dancing.

The Hurricanes are the No. 9 seed in the Greenville region and were one of the last teams to grab a first-round bye. They’ll head out to Bloomington, Indiana, on Saturday to face No. 8-seed Oklahoma State in the opening round of the NCAA tourney.

“It’s a real statement of the consistency of success in the postseason,” coach Katie Meier said. “We were expecting an 8-9, thinking maybe we slide to a 7, maybe we slide to a 10 because you can always move one or two, so that’s where we’re at. We’re excited. We’re thrilled to be in.”
