The news polls are out, and voters took notice of UM's 2-0 week featuring wins over top 5 UVA and top 15 Louisville.
The Hurricanes moved up into the top 10 in both polls.
Louisville Coach Rick Pitino had high praise for the 'Canes, following his team's very tough loss this past Saturday.
It was a nice follow up from another legend.
Last month Coach K was also very impressed after his Duke team was defeated by UM.
What does it all mean?
Pretty much what we all knew. Miami Basketball is for real, and a deep run in Match Madness is a definite possibility.
