The University of Miami will honor legendary men’s basketball head coach Jim Larrañaga on Jan. 20 as the Hurricanes host Florida State at 7 p.m. inside the Watsco Center.

Fans are encouraged to arrive early for a pre-game ceremony that will include the unveiling of a banner recognizing Larrañaga, the winningest coach in program history.

The first 4,000 fans in attendance will receive a commemorative mini banner.

The special evening will feature in-game programming featuring former players as well as complimentary angel food smoothies, Larrañaga’s favorite flavor, from Smoothie King.

During his 13-plus seasons in Coral Gables, Larrañaga totaled 274 wins and guided Miami to six NCAA Tournament appearances, their first Final Four (2023), first Elite Eight (2022), first ACC Tournament title (2013), first two ACC regular season crowns (2013, 2023) and four Sweet 16 appearances.

Tickets for the game are available for purchase by visiting www.miamihurricanes.com/tickets.
