Basketball: Pre-Season Magazines Tout Canes

Expectations are high for Miami Basketball entering the 2008-09 season. I just renewed my season tickets and look forward to releasing a Canes Rising Season Preview for Basketball in the upcoming weeks.

Here are where some National Magazines are picking the Canes:

Athlon Sports

15th nationally/3rd in the ACC/Sweet 16 NCAAs

Lindy Sports

18th nationally/3rd in the ACC

UMI Publications/Picks by Dan Bonner

16th nationally/4th in the ACC

Slam Magazine

16th nationally

Sporting News

14th nationally/3rd in the ACC

The Hurricanes could potentially play UConn, Wisconsin, Ohio State and Kentucky in the first four weeks of the season. So we'll learn quickly about this group.
