How to Watch Miami Basketball Attempt to Extend Win Streak Against Virginia Tech

In this story:
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The Miami Hurricanes are on the edge of in and out of the top 25, but that doesn't bother head coach Jai Lucas in the slightest. He has his team focused on the next game, where they take on a dangerous Virginia Tech Hokies team.
"Absolutely (I expect a desperate Virginia Tech team)," Lucas said. "One, because they're really good. Some of their losses, you think about SMU, you think about Stanford. I know they had one other game that was a buzzer beater, then their record is 10-3, 10-2.
"They just had some bad luck. They're a really good team. They are an NCAA tournament team. This is a big game for us and a big game for them. So if they're more desperate than us, then we aren't in the right mind frame."
The Canes look to extend their win streak against the Hokies, as they prepare for another quad-one game against one of the best teams in the conference.
Players to Watch: Tre Donaldson

The Hurricanes' star guard kept pace against the Wolfpack and turned it on when he needed to after a rough first half. Donaldson continues to have one of the best seasons of his career, and it's starting to take hold. He continues to lead the Canes as one of the best defensive units in the country.
Players to Watch: Amani Hansberry

The Hokies' leading scorer and rebounder has had an impressive season and looks to continue against the Canes. He is averaging nearly a double-double each game, while being a dominant force inside the paint. His battle against Malik Reneau will be one to watch.
