12 Mar
Summary
- Miami (OH) reached a 31-0 record, an incredible mid-major season.
- Despite an undefeated record, their NCAA tournament seed is uncertain.
- Akron Zips are a strong contender, seeking an automatic bid.
Miami (OH) is experiencing one of the most remarkable mid-major basketball seasons in recent memory, boasting an undefeated 31-0 record as of March 12, 2026. Despite this stellar performance, their spot in the 2026 NCAA tournament remains uncertain, with current projections placing them as an No. 11 seed.
The Redhawks' metrics, including their No. 91 KenPom ranking, are not as strong as some competitors, notably the Akron Zips. Akron, the No. 2 seed in their conference, has also had a successful season and is aiming to secure the automatic NCAA tournament bid by winning their conference tournament.
Akron's head coach, John Groce, is in his ninth season and has led the team to the tournament three of the last four years, though a win has eluded them. This year's Akron squad features senior guard Tavari Johnson and 6'9" center Amani Lyles, who could be instrumental in their tournament hopes.
