Behind ten points from Malcolm Brogdon, the Virginia Cavaliers hold a five point advantage over third-seeded Miami, 36 to 31. Mike Tobey has six points for Virginia, while London Perrantes has five. Tobey is also Virginia's leading rebounder, with four.
Miami's scoring has been led by Ja'Quan Newton with eleven. Sheldon McClellan has managed to add six points while primarily being defended by Brogdon. Tonye Jekiri has only two points but is the Hurricanes' leading rebounder with four.
Neither team has been the defensive stalwart we expected thus far.
