Miami falls to No. 21 Virginia for sixth consecutive ACC loss

Competing against conference opponents with barely a handful of healthy scholarship players has been anything but a small task for the undermanned Miami Hurricanes men’s basketball team this season.

The team has come out triumphant at times yet defeated at others, as exhibited in the team’s multi-game losing streak.

Senior guards Kameron McGusty scored 14 points, Elijah Olaniyi added 12 points and six rebounds, though Miami (7-16, 3-15 ACC) was unable to stop Virginia (16-6, 12-4 ACC), losing 62-51, while the Cavaliers ended a three-game skid on Monday night at John Paul Jones Arena.

Shooting 48 percent from the field in the first half, the Canes saw that figure dip to 29.
