Georgia Southern at Virginia Tech

The Virginia Tech Hokies are out of the gate strong at 8-1. They fell 1 point from perfection, as they lost a 1-point decision to West Virginia. Georgia Southern has a big guy in the middle that could help them inside here. Eric Ferguson hits for 15.8 points per game and 7.6 rebounds per game, as the Hokies’ strength on defense has been defending the perimeter. Virginia Tech will be vulnerable here because they like to push the tempo and will have to defend the shot-clock here. They are much better in a racetrack event, which isn't going to be the case here. The Eagles have been at their best with a blowout, confidence-building win as they are now 17-8 ATS off a 20+ point win in their last contest. The Hokies have been disinterested when facing a team with a road winning percentage of under .400 at 1-6 ATS in their last seven. Take the points and play on Georgia Southern.
