While long in the shadow of its much more famous football team, the Miami Hurricanes basketball team has made great strides in recent years with 9 appearances in the NCAA March Madness postseason tournament since 2000. The team’s recent rise nearly paid off in full just last season, when they surged all to the 2023 Final Four! There, the Hurricanes ran into an unstoppable UConn Huskies team and lost 72-59, but Hurricanes fans must be extremely encouraged looking forward to the seasons to come.

Are Miami Hurricanes basketball games exciting?
Miami Hurricanes basketball games are known to be raucous, electric affairs, led by the student cheering section known as the Eye (as in…of the hurricane). The Eye is anything but calm, however, sporting the school colors of orange, green, and white as they roar the Hurricanes on to victory.
