The Miami Hurricanes basketball squad took a major leap in the NET rankings from this past weekend.

Last weekend, the Hurricanes were ranked at No. 38 in the country. Now, after beating Ole Miss — which counts as a Quad 2 win, the Hurricanes moved into the Top 25 as they slot in at No. 25 in the country.

Jai Lucas and his squad proved they can compete with the top teams in the country. Even though they did drop the game to BYU and Florida, anyone who actually watched those games knows the Hurricanes weren’t awful. It was simple mistakes, like missed free throws that cost Miami.

Miami is legit about 10–15 free throws from being undefeated in both of those games. Jai Lucas has his team rolling, and they should finish out conference play at 11–2, especially with some bye games coming up.

Here’s the full rundown of the Top-25 teams in the newest NET rankings:
  1. Michigan
  2. Duke
  3. Iowa State
  4. Gonzaga
  5. Vanderbilt
  6. Arizona
  7. UConn
  8. BYU
  9. Purdue
  10. Michigan State
  11. Alabama
  12. Louisville
  13. Illinois
  14. North Carolina
  15. Saint Mary’s
  16. Georgia
  17. Virginia
  18. Kansas
  19. Houston
  20. Texas Tech
  21. St. John’s
  22. Florida
  23. Nebraska
  24. Arkansas
  25. Miami

Saw the UF game but missed the BYU game. Our boys looked a little sloppy more than just free throws. And they struggled at the boards with the Gators’ bigs. That said I think the talent is there. They just need more reps as a unit. The whole team just started playing together and it shows up against the better comp. Passing and positioning off just a little, can be fixed with more time together. I think we get stronger as the season goes on
