The 2025-26 season has roared life into the Miami Hurricanes men’s basketball team that boasts a strong 6-2 overall record to begin the season.

In his debut season at the helm, head coach Jai Lucas has quickly established a compelling identity for the Hurricanes, who currently sit atop the early ACC standings, largely due to their stellar non-conference record.

The Hurricanes’ immediate success has been built on a relentless, high-octane offense. Through its first few contests, Miami ranks among the nation’s elite in scoring, pouring in over 92 points per game. Their precision has been astute, shooting over 52% from the field and demonstrating great ball movement, tallying an assist average that leads the country at 19.
