Point Spread: 8.50 | -106.00 Miami (Away)
Result: Win
The Miami Hurricanes are playing well and come into this match-up at Virginia off of back to back wins. Miami does play solid defense and is allowing only 64 points per game on the season. The Canes seem to be in a good place right now in terms of their at-large contention for the NCAA tournament, standing 18-8 overall and 8-6 in conference. Miami has a very tough slate to end out the regular season and if the Canes aren't able to grab a win over the next two weeks they'll push themselves into shaky territory for the NCAA tournament. Miami has played off of their defense this season standing 32nd in the nation in points allowed. The last 3 meetings have all been decided by single digits and the average margin has been just 5.3 points. Look for more of the same in this one as it proves to be another tight game here on Big Monday.
