The University of Virginia's men's basketball team extended their winning streak to seven games with a commanding 40-19 lead over Miami, part of a performance that included a Ryan Dunn alley-oop slam. The Cavaliers have the nation's longest home win streak at 22 games and have shown their prowess on both ends of the court, with Taine Murray carving out a significant role over the last five games. This victory has elevated UVA to No. 32 in the NET rankings, positioning them well within the NCAA tournament field. Meanwhile, Clemson achieved a historic road win over No. 3 UNC, their second win at UNC and ending a 40-game losing streak against AP top 5 teams on the road.
2nd win at UNC in school history. Tigers snap 40 game losing streak to AP top 5 teams on the road. https://t.co/qqtRg6HpGr
Clemson MBB coach Brad Brownell says he was "really upset" with PJ Hall on his third foul. Hall finished with 25 points in the win. "He wants to win so bad ... He was outstanding"
Brad Brownell says he believes good things happen to good people who work hard. “Today was that day” for his team. Says he was proud of Clemson MBB’s composure tonight vs No. 3 UNC https://t.co/gn2wkYkEap
Super positive development for Memphis. Clemson (No. 37 in NET) pulls off a huge road win over No. 3 UNC. Virginia (No. 32) is also on a seven-game winning streak. Those two breaking into the top 30 would give Memphis three Quad I wins (along with road win at TAMU). https://t.co/QjWjfT3IEX
Told @willmaxey this morning that I thought Clemson had a good shot of getting a win at UNC tonight. What a win for the Tigers!
𝗚𝗥𝗜𝗧 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗦! 😤👏 The Tigers take a BIG win back south with a road thriller against No. 3 North Carolina! https://t.co/qqqVrpmzzl

#UVA moved up to No. 32 in the NET rankings after last night's romp over Miami ... https://t.co/F9jcqU9Ink
#UVa’s Taine Murray made the most of his minutes during Monday night’s win over Miami, helping the Hoos separate late in the first half. He’s carved out a role for himself over the last five games, too. “Taine gives us that lift.” https://t.co/FTfQdfnRru https://t.co/dpwQ20KGE2
Irritated by a defensive lapse, #UVa’s Ryan Dunn smacked the basket support late in Monday’s game v. Miami. The Cavaliers led by 24. This is the unyielding intensity that has ignited Virginia’s 7-game winning streak. ⬇️ https://t.co/aNwwED8iW4
That's a huge win for NC State, not just in terms of another ranked win and resume booster but now you're even with Louisville on record with a head to head win. Big for that regular season title push (need to win the VT rematch Thursday too) https://t.co/2ByjmxKi51
I know Virginia is on the bubble and all of that, but man. When that defense turns up and Ryan Dunn is rotating around and flying everywhere destroying every set you want to run, they're something special to watch.
Reece Beekman to Ryan Dunn for the ally-oop slam ... and Jason Williford is out on the floor waving Dunn back defensively, hahaha. #UVA leads 40-19 with 14:24 here against Miami and this is as impressive a performance as the 'Hoos have had this season.
UVA is looking good on both ends of the court tonight. Third best team in the ACC right now.
#UVA up 20-11 after that Taine Murray strong rebound/Ryan Dunn fast-break layup. JPJ crowd is loud.
Miami at #UVA here at JPJ in 25 minutes. 'Hoos have won 6 in a row and have a nation's best 22-game home win streak. Hurricanes are getting healthy. Should be a good one ... https://t.co/FagL3Gn931
