#13 Virginia (12-3) is having a great season, but is on a two-game slide with road losses at Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech. Coming home will help, where the Cavaliers are 7-0. They matchup well with a Miami Hurricanes team that hasn't been on the road since December 22. The Hurricanes have only one defeat, but it was a shocker, losing 78-77 to Northeastern as -16 chalk. They face a Virginia defense that ranks #10 nationally in scoring defense (60.9 points per game), while the offense is #14 in field goal percentage (49.7%), #17 in three-point field goal percentage (40%), #21 in free throw percentage (75%) and #25 in turnover margin. The Cavaliers defeated Miami 89-80 in double overtime in the last meeting between the teams in Coral Gables on January 3, 2015. The Cavaliers are 5-3 vs. the Hurricanes in Charlottesville, including a 65-40 win the last time they met here. Virginia has a three-game winning streak against Miami at home, so grab the home team to win the game. Take Virginia on the moneyline.
