The Miami Hurricanes are up against March Madness heavyweights today as they face the UConn Huskies for a chance at the championship.
This will be the No. 5-seeded Hurricanes’ first Final Four game in program history, but the No. 4 -seeded Huskies are on familiar ground: UConn has been to the Final Four fives times before, advancing through all but one of those to nab the NABC trophy in 1999, 2004, 2011, and 2014.

When is Miami vs. UConn? Game Time, Location
Miami vs. UConn is happening today, Saturday, April 1 at 8:49 p.m. ET / 5:49 p.m. PT. The game will be broadcast live from NRG Stadium in Houston.
Miami vs. UConn Odds, Prediction
UConn has been on a tear this March Madness, beating every team by 15 points or more (only two other teams this century have accomplished this). This dominance throughout the tournament — in addition to their slightly higher seeding — gives the Huskies the edge today: Oddsmakers have UConn as the favorite in a 5.5-point spread with moneyline odds of -255 against Miami’s +205.
In their Sweet 16 and Elite Eight games, Connecticut crushed the No. 8 Arkansas and No. 3 Gonzaga, respectively. Against Gonzaga — one of the league’s best programs — UConn put up 82 points and let Gonzaga have just 54.
UConn is likely (and deservedly) feeling hot coming into today’s Final Four game, but Miami is still a force to be reckoned with. The Hurricanes are undersized, and that doesn’t seem to be a problem: The team had decisive wins over higher-seeded teams in their last three games, beating No. 4 Indiana in the second round, No. 1 Houston in the Sweet 16, and No. 2 Texas in the Elite Eight.
Be sure to use one of the above streaming services to watch Miami vs. UConn online today.
