The game between Virginia and Miami three weeks ago in Charlottesville was, all of us who were there to see it, a second weekend NCAA Tournament-quality game.
Friday night, it’s an ACC Tournament semifinal game.
Virginia won the first one on three free throws from Chance Mallory with 3.2 seconds left.

Miami bullied Virginia, which we haven’t seen really all season, here in Year 1 of the Ryan Odom Era, where the focus going in is, We’re the bullies.
The ‘Canes owned the boards – 30-23 was the topline number, but diving in, the ‘Hoos, third nationally in offensive-rebound rate coming in, had four offensive boards; Miami had 12, and an 18-2 advantage in second-chance points.
Miami outscored Virginia 40-30 in the paint.
Despite getting run up in two of the key Odom Ball stats, Virginia got the dub.
Just looking at the box score, though, not sure how.
