With only one day of rest between games, the Canes headed to Charlottesville, Virginia looking to be the second team to upset the No. 21 University of Virginia Cavaliers at home. The Canes fought strong in the first half, but mistakes cost the team the game at the John Paul Jones Arena as they fell 62-51 to the Cavaliers.
“We played 35 good minutes,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said. “The last four to five minutes of the first half killed us.”
Miami started off the first six minutes of the half competitive, leading 11-10 going into the first media timeout.
