This past weekend, Bruce Pearl had some strong comments on where Miami (OH) stands in regards to the NCAA tournament. Sitting at 30-0 on the season, the Redhawks have yet to play a Quad 1 opponent. Bruce Pearl says in order for the Redhawks to get in the tournament, they must win the conference tournament. Should Miami (OH) get an at-large bid if they don’t win the MAC tournament? Watch here as Andy & Ari discuss as March Madness is right around the corner.
