The Miami Hurricanes (21-5, 10-3 ACC) are one of the most underrated teams in the country and are sitting in third place in the ACC standings to this point in the season.

However, they face one of their most difficult challenges of the season against No. 14 Virginia, which is out to end the Hurricanes' hopes of being ranked.

With one more win, the Canes will have won seven of their last eight games and five in a row, with two of them coming against top-25 opponents.

The Hurricanes' leading scorer has been on a tear, but against the Hokies, he was missing for most of the game.

"I think it was a migraine," Lucas said about Reneau's lack of minutes. "I really don't know, but it was a headache or something that was going on that kind of had them a little blurry and just couldn't deal with it. So we'll see. We tried our best to get him back out there, and then he just kind of willed himself late in the game."

He expects the 20 point scorer to be back in this important road game where he will be needed against one of the best front court teams in the country.

Virginia Player to Watch: Thijs De Ridder

One of the most underrated players in the country, and one of the least talked about freshman is the country, is the leading scorer for the Cavaliers. He is built like a truck and can fly around with the best of the best, but that doesn't stop there. De Ridder is a physical force inside and out and will be a challenge for anyone to guard.
