Heat’s Hansbrough: RedHawks’ NCAA Dreams Crushed
Former UNC standout Tyler Hansbrough on the Miami RedHawks: "I don't think they should've made the tournament."
Former North Carolina Tar Heels standout Tyler Hansbrough said during a Field of 68 Selection Sunday bracket breakdown that he doesn't think the Miami RedHawks deserved their first NCAA Tournament at-large bid since the 1999 team that featured Wally Szczerbiak . "I don't think they should've made the tournament," Hansbrough said of Miami. "And the reason I say that is their strength of schedule's pretty weak.
What is it? Let's see here: 339th? No Quad 1 wins.
We had a Quad 1 win debate last year whenever Carolina got in there, but we had a much stronger schedule. " "And quite honestly, I think these other teams, maybe Oklahoma or somebody," Hansbrough continued. "Teams in bigger conferences that actually have a legit chance and didn't schedule D-II schools in their pre-conference schedule, I feel like they should've been rewarded.
And if we haven't learned anything from the college football playoffs. Realistically, is Miami of Ohio a contender? Absolutely not.
