No. 14 Virginia (23-3, 11-2 ACC) is set to host Miami (21-5, 10-3 ACC) on Saturday, February 21, at John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, with tipoff scheduled for 2 p.m. on ESPN2. The game follows a pregame court dedication to Coach Tony Bennett, who led Virginia to multiple titles including the 2019 NCAA Championship. Virginia has won seven consecutive games and boasts a strong home record at JPJ, where they are 12-1 this season, and is currently ranked 16th in the NET and 19th in Kenpom rankings. Miami, ranked third in the ACC with a 10-3 conference record, has won four straight games, including a narrow victory over Virginia Tech. The Hurricanes are led offensively by Tre Donaldson and Malik Reneau, and have the best field goal percentage in the ACC at 50.5%. Virginia's defense has been exceptional, allowing 68 or fewer points in their last six games, which could be pivotal against Miami's balanced offense. The game is expected to be tightly contested, with predictions favoring Virginia narrowly, with a score of 73-66, but betting odds suggest Miami has good value with a +7.5 spread. The match is part of Virginia’s ongoing quest for ACC dominance, with upcoming games against NC State and others. Virginia's new head coach Ryan Odom, who recently took over, has a notable coaching background including leading UMBC to a historic NCAA upset over Virginia in 2018. Historically, Virginia leads the series against Miami 17-13 and has won eight of the last nine meetings, often by narrow margins. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2, with live stats available online.
