Mallory's 3‑point foul and subsequent free throws sealed the game. With 3.6 seconds remaining, he was fouled on a 3‑point attempt and made all three free throws, pushing Virginia to an 86‑83 win over Miami.
Jacari White scored 17 points, including five 3‑pointers, while Sam Lewis had 15 and Thijs De Ridder 14. Miami's Shelton Henderson and Tre Donaldson each scored 18, but the win kept Virginia in second place in the ACC and snapped Miami's four‑game win streak.
