How to Watch Miami vs. Drake: Stream Men’s College Basketball Live, TV Channel, Announcers
The first round of the 2023 men’s NCAA tournament will continue on Friday night as No. 5-seed Miami faces off against No. 12-seed Drake in Albany N.Y.
Miami (25–7) will look to go on another run just one year after making it to the Elite Eight for the first time in program history in its first tournament appearance since 2018. Led by coach Jim Larrañaga, the Hurricanes finished the year as the co-regular season champions in the ACC before falling in conference tournament semifinals.
Drake (27–7) will take the March Madness floor for the first time since 2021, on the heels of the best season of coach Darian DeVries’s five-year tenure. The Bulldogs punched their ticket to the Big Dance, and earned their 13th win in 14 games, on March 5 after claiming their first Missouri Valley Conference championship since the ’07–’08 season.
The winner of Miami-Drake will move to face the winner of the No. 4 Indiana-No. 13 Kent State contest in the second round.
