CBS college basketball analyst Clark Kellogg is not the first and won't be the last to confuse the University of Miami Hurricanes and the Miami University RedHawks.

But Kellogg congratulating "Miami University" for its NCAA tournament Final Four appearance as fans were awaiting "One Shining Moment" was not lost on those on Twitter who know there's a big difference between Travis Steele's RedHawks of Oxford, Ohio, which finished last season 12-20 and did not appear in the postseason, and Jim Larrañaga's 'Canes, of Miami, Florida, which had an impressive 29-8 campaign ended by eventual champion UConn in the Final Four.

"What a privilege to be part of a great event that never fails to deliver," Kellogg said during CBS' broadcast. "Worthy champion in UConn and a valiant effort and a tremendous run for a first-time Final Four entrant. Not only San Diego State. How about Florida Atlantic and Miami University as well making their first trip to this venue for this special occasion? Man, what a great, great run, and congratulations to UConn. Worthy, dominant and deserving champion."

In less than five months, the RedHawks and Hurricanes will meet in MU football's season-opener in Coral Gables, Fla.

A few reactions to Kellogg's mix-up from Twitter:

Kellogg did make Xavier fans happy before the tournament started by picking the Muskies to reach their first Final Four. XU's run ended in the Sweet 16 with a loss to Texas.
