The 2024–25 Miami Hurricanes men's basketball team will represent the University of Miami during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Hurricanes will be led by fourteenth-year head coach Jim Larrañaga, and will play their home games at the Watsco Center on the university's campus in Coral Gables, Florida as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
Previous season
[edit]The Hurricanes finished the 2023–24 season a disappointing 15–17 and 6–14 in ACC play to finish in fourteenth place. As the fourteenth seed in the ACC tournament, they lost to eleventh seed Boston College in the First Round. They were not invited to the NCAA tournament or the NIT. This ended a streak of two straight post-season appearances for the Hurricanes.
