Expectations entering the 2025-26 season for the Miami Hurricanes are the belief that they were a tournament team. Sitting with a 17-5 record and 6-3 in conference play, the Canes still have a lot of work ahead of the NCAA Tournament and ACC Tournament.

Their resume also doesn't stand out as one of the best teams in the country. They only have one quad one win on the road, but the rest have all come short.

If head coach Jai Lucas wants to make the NCAA Tournament in his first year as a head coach, he has a chance to do so in the latter half of the team's schedule. They have several opportunities to win against Ranked teams like North Carolina, Louisville, and Virginia, and battle tough teams like SMU and Virginia Tech.

Here is how the team's resume looks as they kick start their February run to the the tournament:
