The ACC is gaining a few new faces as former Pac-12 members Cal and Stanford join the conference, as well as SMU from the American Athletic Conference.
While the conference grows to 18 athletic programs, the competition not only increases but heightens for the Miami Hurricanes.
Head coach Jim Larrañaga is heading into his 14th season with the Canes and is looking to improve upon Miami’s 15-17 overall record from the 2023-24 season. Larrañaga previously led the Canes to a Final Four appearance in 2023 and an Elite Eight appearance in 2022.
Running the Miami backcourt this season will most likely be Nijel Pack for a third season in a row.
As Pack enters his fifth season of collegiate basketball and third year with the Canes, how does the point guard compare to his ACC competitors?
