Miami Basketball released its 2016-17 schedule yesterday.

And it has no shortages of challenges.

Fortunately for 'Canes fans, almost all of them will we watchable on major networks, and Coach L and squad return a team that should be able to handle them.

UM gets a National Championship quality Duke team twice this season (1/21 & 2/25), a quality Stanford club OOC, a GW team who beat UVA last season, and also has trips to Louisville and Syracuse in a gauntlet of a schedule.

The Hurricanes will learn early how good freshmen Top 30  prospects Bruce Brown and Dewan Huell are as they take on the Cardinal in the AdvoCare Invitational 11/24.

Potential match-ups with talented clubs like Iowa, Seton Hall, and Florida also loom, should the 'Canes advance.

Down the stretch veterans like Davon Reed and Kamari Murphy will be asked to provide leadership as they finish their schedule with road contests in 3/4 including at UVA and at FSU.

Overall it's a schedule worthy of a team with aspirations of returning to the Sweet 16 or going further.

With a mix of veterans, incoming stars, and proven returning talent like PG Ja'Quan Newton, UM should still be a factor in the ACC and Nationally.

Coach L knows though, they have their work cut out for them:

"The ACC, from top to bottom, is the best basketball conference in the country and will provide our players a tough test every night against the most talented teams in the nation,"Whether we are at home or on the road, we will need to play at our best because nearly every night we are playing against nationally-ranked opponents." - Jim Larranaga
