Miami fell short to No. 2 seed Purdue Boilermakers in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, to a final score of 79-69.
Three Miami Hurricanes scored in double figures, with freshman Shelton Henderson leading the way with 18 points, followed by senior forward Malik Reneau with 16 and Tre Donaldson with 13.
Despite the heartbreaking loss, this season showed what’s to come for the Miami Hurricanes and Jai Lucas’ basketball squad.
Miami is bringing in a top-10 player in the country in Caleb Gaskins, and Jai Lucas has completely turned around Miami into a winning program after going 7–24 last season.
Miami finishes 26–9 after today’s loss to Purdue, with a 13–5 record in ACC play, good for third-best in the conference. Miami got back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2023-24 Final Four run.
A year ago, the Canes finished 7–24 overall and just 3–17 in conference.
Jai Lucas is a program changer, and the best has yet to come.
