Miami continues to be too inconsistent to trust them on the road. The Hurricanes are averaging 80.8 points per game and allowing 72.2. Virginia posts 65.4 PPG and allows 57.8. Miami is third in the ACC in scoring and Virginia is first in scoring defense. Miami at Virginia is a difficult game to handicap.

Inconsistency has plagued Miami recently. Miami nearly blew a 19-point lead versus Pittsburgh three games ago before winning. On Saturday versus Virginia Tech, Miami had to rally from an 11-point second-half deficit to win. Miami cannot get into a deep hole against Virginia with their deliberate style.

Hopefully, Miami can build on their momentum in the final four minutes in the win over Virginia Tech. Matthew Cleveland returned after missing the previous two games and scored 15 points with 13 rebounds versus Virginia Tech. Cleveland had a buzzer-beater for Florida State in 2022 at Virginia.
