In this story:


While the Miami Hurricanes have fallen outside the top 25 of the AP Poll, the Canes are still one of the most dangerous teams in the country. It helps when Jai Lucas is one of the best coaches in the country and when the team's three players are tabbed to All-Conference teams.

Furthermore, it's win or go home now for the Hurricanes. The ACC Tournament is here, and the Canes have three opponents that they have already seen this season to play once again.

As the No. 3 seed, the Canes will face off against SMU, Syracuse, or Louisville. The most likely option is the Cardinals, but still, anything can happen in these tournament-style settings.

The first game for the Canes will take place on Thursday at 2:30 p.m. ET on ESPN or ESPN2, and the ESPN app.

After the Canes will figure out if all roads lead to Duke or if they will be a semi-final exit.

Here are the day-by-day matchups and full schedule for the ACC Tournament.
