Canes Ranked 20/21 in National Polls

The University of Miami men’s basketball team has now been ranked in the Top 25 for three-straight weeks after the AP ranked the Canes No. 20 and USA TODAY put UM at No. 21, on Dec. 8.

Miami was No. 15 in both polls last week, but a loss to Green Bay dropped the Canes to their current rankings. It was the highest ranking in December in the history of Canes basketball.

Miami made its season debut in the Top 20 of both major college basketball polls Nov. 24. Miami checked in at No. 17 in the Associated Press Top 25, and earned a No. 20 ranking in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll.

The Hurricanes were last ranked in the final polls of the 2012-13 season, holding the No. 5 spot in the final AP poll and No. 10 in USA Today Coaches Poll. The last time Miami was ranked in the month of November was in 2008-09 when the Canes opened the year No. 17/16, then were No. 22/21 in polls released on Nov. 24, 2008.

Check out the nationally-ranked Hurricanes tonight, Dec. 8, at 7 p.m. when UM faces Savannah State at the BankUnited Center. Go to CanesTix.com to get your tickets.
