CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The Miami Hurricanes (4-13, 0-6 ACC) will be back at home after getting buried from beyond the arch against No. 3 Duke and look to snap a six-game skid against one of the newcomers of the ACC in the SMU Mustangs (13-4, 4-2 ACC).

The Miami Hurricanes Men's basketball team has been one of the great stories this season for all the wrong reasons. NIL killed the passion of a great coach in Jim Larranaga and caused him to step down in the middle of the team.

Now for the first time in the history of each program, they will face off against each other as the Mustangs look to continue their winning. Miami will just be looking to see if there is a pulse left within this team after getting handled by the Blue Devils with ease.
