Miami Women's Basketball Earns Bid Into the ACC Tournament: First Alert

After missing the tournament last season, the Miami Hurricanes women's basketball team is headed to Atlanta for the ACC Women's Basketball Tournament.
The ACC Tournament is filled with teams that are not the bottom three in the league, and this season, the Hurricanes make the cut as a team that is in the tournament.
In the second head coach, Tricia Cullop, the Canes have improved and now have a chance to try and make an NCAA tournament bid with a deep run in the postseason.
CLINCHED.
