Miami poised for victory against Virginia Tech with home court advantage and strong recent performance

Miami is currently in a strong position to secure a victory, especially when playing at home. Recent performance by Virginia Tech, including a high scoring game against a weaker opponent and player health concerns, may impact their ability to perform at their best. Additionally, Virginia Tech's record against the spread in their last few games has not been favorable. Conversely, Miami has demonstrated a high level of accuracy in shooting while playing at home. Considering these factors, Miami appears to have a significant advantage heading into the matchup.
