Miami And Virginia Battle in ACC Tournament to Face North Carolina
Miami And Virginia Battle in ACC Tournament to Face North CarolinaThe ACC Tournament starts this week with a game against the Miami Hurricanes and the Virginia Cavaliers. The winner will get the chance to take on the North Carolina Tar Heels and advance for a chance to win the title.

Miami hoped to build up some momentum heading into the ACC tournament, and a March 2 win over Maryland seemed to set the Hurricanes up to do just that. But the Hurricanes picked a bad time to play one of their worst games of the season, losing 66-57 at Georgia Tech on March 6 to end the regular season on a downer. Instead of going to Greensboro, N.C., with a two-game winning streak and No. 7 seed, the Hurricanes will limp there as a No. 9 seed following the loss to the 11th-place Yellow Jackets.

Miami also may have done significant damage to its hopes for an NIT bid. With the ACC probably relegated to no more than six, and possibly as few as five, NCAA bids, that could put a couple of other clubs ahead of the Hurricanes in the NIT picking order.

Miami rallied from a five-point deficit in the last 40 seconds to send the game to overtime in the only regular-season meeting between the two, then won it in overtime. Virginia’s backcourt play was strong with Mustapha Farrakhan scoring 20 points and Joe Harris adding 18. Miami should have a huge advantage inside if 6-foot-10 Reggie Johnson can muster more enthusiasm for playing than he had in the regular-season finale at Georgia Tech.

The Cavaliers are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games against a team with a winning record and Miami is reeling coming into this game. The Cavaliers win as Miami hopes for an invite to the N.I.T.
