Rankings from AP poll

The 2024–25 Miami Hurricanes women's basketball team will represent the University of Miami during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Hurricanes will be led by first-year head coach Tricia Cullop and will play their home games at the Watsco Center in Coral Gables, Florida as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Cullop will replace nineteen-year head coach Katie Meier who announced her retirement on March 22, 2024.[1][2]

Previous season

The Hurricanes finished the 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 before losing to first seeded Virginia Tech in the Quarterfinals. 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.[3]
