2016 NCAA Tournament: South Region Preview, Predictions

Miami (FL) Hurricanes (3) vs. Buffalo Bulls (14)

After a two-year absence, the ‘Canes are baaaack. This year, they’ll be forced to play an upstart Buffalo team that’s peaking at the right time. After giving West Virginia a scare last March, the Bulls have a balanced blend of freshmen and transfers. The Hurricanes have two quality guards, but have occasional lapses from long range. Whoever comes out more focused will likely walk out with a W, which is why picking the Bulls is a safer Cinderella pick than most.

OUR PICK: Buffalo
RPI: Miami
538: Miami
