Last season was one of the most successful seasons in Miami men’s basketball program history. After going 26-11 in the regular season and 14-6 in Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) play, the team advanced the farthest it ever had in the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament by making it to the Elite Eight.
“It didn’t end the way we wanted to, but it adds fuel to the fire,” senior forward Jordan Miller said to the ACC Network at ACC Tipoff.
A big reason for the success was the veteran players on the squad, including Miller. Point guard Charlie Moore, small forward Kameron McGusty and center Sam Waardenburg were three of the team’s five starters, and each player was critical to Miami’s success.
