The Hurricanes started the season well, reeling off seven straight victories to start the season. The highlight of the run was an away win over rival Florida 79–51. This run included two victories in the Miami Thanksgiving Tournament. Their winning streak was broken on December 4 in the ACC–SEC Challenge when they lost to Vanderbilt 70–88. The Hurricanes went on another four game winning streak from there, including winning their first ACC game against Pittsburgh, 62–52. They also recorded neutral site wins over Nevada and Oregon State in the Maui Classic. The turn of the year saw the team enter a rough patch as they lost their next seven straight games. The run included only one loss to a ranked team, number 17 North Carolina. The run ended on January 26 with a 70–63 win over SMU. The Hurricanes followed that with another win, 77–74 against Virginia. However they could not build on that streak, and lost all five of their next games, all against ranked opponents. They defeated Wake Forest 62–60 before losing their final two games on a road trip to California.
The Hurricanes finished the season 14–15 and 4–14 in ACC play to finish in sixteenth place. Under the new ACC tournament rules, they did not qualify for the 2025 ACC tournament. They were not invited to the NCAA tournament or the WBIT.
Previous season
The Hurricanes finished the 2023–24 season 19–12 overall and 8–10 in ACC play to finish in ninth place. As the ninth seed in the ACC tournament, they defeated eighth seed North Carolina in the second round[3] before losing to first-seeded Virginia Tech in the quarterfinals.[4] On Selection Sunday, the Hurricanes were not picked to be a part of the field for the 2024 NCAA tournament, and were left out by the selection committee. The team declined an invite to the inaugural WBIT, ending their season.[5]
