Miami Hurricanes move up to No. 3 in AP Top 25

<snip>

"Longtime suffering University of Miami men’s basketball fans may want to sit down for this news.

The Hurricanes on Monday were ranked No. 3 in the Associated Press poll, behind Indiana and Duke. Yes, No. 3. As in, third-best team in the nation. They received 17 first-place votes. First. Place. Votes. UM. In basketball.

Miami, 19-3 and 10-0 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, has made a meteoric rise over the past five weeks from unranked to No. 25 to No. 14 to No. 8 to No. 3. This is the highest a UM team has ever been ranked. The national pollsters clearly are aware of the Hurricanes’ jaw-dropping stats this season.

The Hurricanes moved up from No. 11 to No. 4 in the USA Today Coaches poll.

UM is the only undefeated team of the six major conferences. The Canes have not lost since Christmas, are riding an 11-game win streak, are the first team ever to beat Duke and North Carolina by 25-plus points in the same season, and their Ratings Percentage Index is No. 1 or No. 2 depending which computer you choose to believe."
