In the middle of his 14th season as the head coach of the University of Miami men’s basketball team, head coach Jim Larrañaga has decided to step down.

In his 14 seasons as Miami’s head coach, he became the winningest in program history, leading the ’Canes to a 274-174 record.

On Saturday, Miami lost a brutal game in overtime to Mount St. Mary’s to drop them to 4-8 on the season.

“A team I thought would be a great three-point shooting team this year went 5-for-25 from three, and most of the shots were open,” Larrañaga said to reporters after Miami’s loss to Mount St. Mary’s.

Miami is a city full of cultural hotspots that have exceptional food.

With so many great places to explore, it can be overwhelming to figure out what you’re in the mood for and how much you’re willing to spend on it

Here are the top places in Miami for any foodie.

Cafe Demetrio – $

The first coffee house in Coral Gables, Cafe Demetrio is the best spot to start your morning.

With the charm of classic 18th-century Europe in their decor and design, Demetrio is a great spot to go with some friends for a calm and restful start to your morning.

Bartaco – $

A college student’s favorite, Bartacco is one of the best places for a night out with friends. Its reasonable prices make this a great place to eat up. Being able to order from your phone adds an extra level of convenience.

Havana Harry’s – $

Havana Harry’s is a great Cuban spot to go for a lunch or dinner break. Family-style portions bursting with flavor for a super low price make for a setting perfect for college students.

With the heartbreaking loss to Syracuse dropping the Miami Hurricanes to 10-2 their chances at the College Football Playoffs were brought to zero. That being said Miami football does have one more game to play and it will be the Pop Tart Bowl against Iowa State.

With Miami’s struggles against the pass this season as well as their reliance on the air game the Cyclones should present an interesting challenge.

In the coming weeks it will be very interesting to see how this Hurricanes roster looks going into the Pop Tart bowl. Miami’s roster is littered with many draft eligible prospects. Cam Ward, Xavier Restrepo, and Tyler Baron just to name a few.

‘Canes volleyball received a taste of their own medicine, suffering a three set road loss to number one ranked Pitt on Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh, PA. This comes as their second loss this weekend after falling to Southern Methodist University Friday night.

While the Hurricanes started off the second set with a 2-0 lead, they did not advance much further than that. The Panthers quickly fought back and left Miami in the dust, creating a power imbalance that the Hurricanes could not break.

Blurring the lines between entertainment and politics, celebrity endorsements and influencers have been more prominent this election cycle.

Alex Cooper, a well-known American podcaster and host of “Call Her Daddy,” brought Harris onto her podcast, which caters towards a younger female audience.

“I think going on podcasts can be fine, but when it’s taken to the scale of something like ‘Call Her Daddy,’ it can seem unprofessional, ” Emma Paccione, a freshman finance student at UM, said.

Some viewers stated it was an inappropriate setting for a presidential candidate, while others argued Trump had used the same strategy.

Trump was featured on the “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, with his episode garnering over 45 million views on YouTube.

Miami’s 48% field goal percentage led to an 88-64 victory versus the Binghamton Bearcats on Sunday afternoon at the Watsco Center.

The Hurricanes were led by Indiana natives Jalen Blackmon and Nijel Peck.

Blackmon and Pack’s presence certainly helped the Hurricanes come out victorious; however, this game wasn’t a cakewalk.

Our defense in the first half was pretty solid, but in the second half, we gave up too many threes, too many layups,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said.

Amendment 4 did not pass in the state of Florida, failing to reach the 60% threshold required of constitutional amendments in Florida.

Florida is the first state to reject a constitutional amendment to enshrine the right to abortion since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022.

If passed, it would have prohibited restrictions against abortion access before fetal viability with exceptions for women’s health and overturn the six-week abortion ban in Florida.

The win is no surprise to Trump’s campaign. He had consistently polled five to seven points ahead of Harris, with some polls having him up by 14 points.

The University of Miami is not permitting official Election Day watch parties on campus as a precautionary measure after emotions ran high at campus events during the 2016 election. Watch parties scheduled by classes and student organizations prior to the announcement were canceled.

In past elections, vibrant watch parties have been a norm on campus. The Rathskeller, the University’s on-campus sports bar, has traditionally held election night watch parties. In 2016, the party was hosted by Get Out the Vote, College Republicans, College Democrats and the Division of Student Affairs.

This year however, The Rat closed at 5 p.m., four hours before its usual closure at 9 p.m.
