Miami Tops #1 Ranked Virginia 44-40

#5 ranked Miami (7-4) beat #1 ranked Virginia (8-3) in an exciting nail biter that came down to the final minute. Jared played a good defensive game, slowing down their offensive star Mike Davis sufficiently for Miami to prevail. His work included a key steal from Mike under the basket in the final minutes that helped reverse the momentum. Virginia had not previously lost when Mike played. No video was taken for this one as a full quorum of grandparents were in attendance. Their place in the standings hinges on their game tomorrow against #4 Georgia Tech.
