Good morning, friends. Today, we get to watch the Miami Hurricanes basketball team play again. The Canes are hosting ACC opponent Virginia Cavaliers, who are also at the bottom of the ACC.
Virginia has a record of 9-11 this season. The Cavaliers have lost to teams including Tennessee, St. John's, Florida, SMU, Memphis, California, Louisville, and others. Most recently, they lost to Notre Dame.
The Cavaliers might not be the best team out there, but anything can happen in the ACC. FanDuel got some faith in the Canes, putting the line at Miami -1.5 and the total at 133.5 points yesterday afternoon.
