Virginia vs. Virginia Tech Prediction
Virginia is currently sitting third in ACC play with a record of 11-4 in the conference. The Cavaliers already beat Virginia Tech at home by eight, where they covered the -4.5 spread. Can they get a road win tonight versus an in-state rival and a place that is tough to play in? Personally, I don't think so, as I believe that the Hokies will it done tonight in a dominating fashion.
Virginia Tech comes into tonight's matchup with a 6-8 conference record and are 11th in the ACC. Like I mentioned earlier, the Hokies dropped one earlier this year where they lost by eight to Virginia on the road. Virginia is a tough place to play as they are 14-1 at home, so it is not surprising that they lost that game. However, Virginia is just 4-4 on the road this season, while Virginia Tech is 11-2 at home. The Hokies thrive off the home crowd energy and they will need it tonight, especially in this rivalry.
KEYS TO THE GAME FOR VIRGINIA TECH:
- Win the Rebounding Battle
- Get to the Foul Line
- Take Care of the Ball
- Knock Down Open Shots
- Let Sean Pedulla Get In a Rythem
Sean Pedulla has been critical to this team thus far, and against a good Virginia defense, he needs to score 13+ and knock down some three's. I think that the Hokies will jump out the gate with an early lead, and limit Virginia on the offensive end tonight. This will not be a shootout tonight, but I expect Virginia Tech to come out on top and win by 6+ tonight.
Take Virginia Tech -3 tonight! Let's cash!
