A nice rest for #7 Virginia (21-5) as they head to Miami with six full days off. Head coach Tony Bennett demands defense, and the Cavs are tops in the ACC in points allowed, plus second in field goal shooting on offense and defense. Opponents have averaged only 49.2 points in Virginia's last five wins, and they rank second nationally in scoring defense, allowing just 59.5 points per game. The Cavaliers are 19-9-1 ATS on the road against a team with a winning home record. And while Virginia is on an 8-1 straight up run, Miami-Florida has four losses the last 12 contests, losing twice as chalk. They come off a 96-71 loss at North Carolina as Miami's defense allowed 50 points in the paint, nine 3-pointers, and 52.2 percent shooting to the Tar Heels. The Cavaliers are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings, including 4-1 ATS at Miami. Play Virginia.
