How Miami performs versus Arkansas and Tennessee and in the Charleston Classic will set the foundation for Miami during the 2024-25 season. Nevada, Seton Hall, Vanderbilt and Virginia Commonwealth are the teams in the other half of the Charleston Classic Bracket.
Miami is playing Charleston Southern and Presbyterian for the first time. The game versus Tennessee is the first for Miami since 1991. Miami is playing Arkansas for the first time since the Hurricanes eliminated the Razorbacks from the 2000 NCAA Tournament in the only meeting between the programs.
Drake and Miami are playing for the first time since Miami began their 2023 Final Four run with a comeback win over the Bulldogs. Miami has never lost to Binghampton, Coppin State, or Mount St. Mary's. Farleigh Dickinson and Miami have split their two meetings. Miami will find out its ACC Schedule this fall.
