Coming off a fresh win at Chestnut Hill over the Boston College Eagles, the Miami Hurricanes return home to face the No. 14 North Carolina Tar Heels. Both teams step into the matchup with nearly identical records: Miami at 7–3 (18–5 overall) and North Carolina at 7–3 (19–4 overall).
From 1999 to 2025, the Miami Hurricanes have a record of 10-25 against the North Carolina Tar Heels, losing their last three encounters. With a Miami team that has been steadily improving under a new system with first-year coach Jai Lucas, this could be the game that puts an end to the Tar Heels’ winning streak.
