CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami men’s basketball team will compete in the 2023 Baha Mar Bahama Hoops Championship.
Held at Baha Mar Resort in Nassau, Bahamas, the four-school event features games on Nov. 17 and Nov. 19. Kansas State and Providence will both be in the field, while the fourth team will be named at a later point.
The Wildcats reached the Elite Eight last season, while the Friars, for whom Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga played in college, made the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season. The Hurricanes’ opening opponent is yet to be determined.
Baha Mar Hoops is the largest regular-season event in the sport of college basketball. The 2022 edition featured 20 men’s and women’s teams competing in 24 games over 10 days during the Thanksgiving holiday.
The Bahamas Championship, which Miami will take part in, annually features four men’s teams from power conferences, while the Nassau Championship includes eight mid-major men’s programs. The Pink Flamingo Championship is a non-bracketed event featuring some of the top women’s programs in the nation.
