The article discusses the potential implications of the Miami (OH) RedHawks in the 2026 NCAA Tournament field following a loss to Massachusetts. The article suggests that the selection committee may not know what it will do with the team, despite their 340th-ranked strength of schedule. This comes after a series of social media posts suggested that Miami (Ohio) was a lock for the tournament, despite a recent loss to Massachusetts. The team's schedule is considered too difficult for mid-majors to agree to play against non-D1 teams due to their schedule, which ranks third-easiest in the nation. Despite this, the article suggests a strong case for 17-16 Auburn as the last team to receive an atlarge bid over fewer than three games above the threshold.
