The Hurricanes’ worst season under coach Jim Larrañaga came to a close on Wednesday afternoon.
Miami failed to score in the first four minutes and Virginia Tech took advantage in the second round of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament.
The 12th-seeded Hurricanes could not overcome their slow start and fell 71-56 to the fifth-seeded Hokies at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
With the loss, Miami (14-18, 5-13 ACC) dropped its third game to Virginia Tech (24-7, 12-6 ACC) this season and capped of its first losing campaign since 2006-07 when they went 12-20.
“They jumped on us,” Larrañaga said.
