Miami Hurricanes

The Miami Hurricanes bring South Florida flair to ACC basketball, playing home games at the Watsco Center in Coral Gables. Long overshadowed by the school's football program, Miami basketball has emerged as a genuine national contender in recent years, capped by a run to the Final Four. The Hurricanes' style blends athletic guard play with the flashy, high-energy identity the U brand is known for across all its sports.

Miami basketball spent years as a middling program before a surge of success in the 2020s under head coach Jim Larranaga. The Hurricanes reached the Elite Eight in 2013 and made a run to the Final Four in 2023, the deepest NCAA Tournament run in program history. Miami has not won an NCAA championship, but its recent tournament breakthroughs have raised the program's national profile within the ACC.
