Virginia has had a week to recover and regroup after a 77-54 loss at Memphis when the Cavaliers shot just 39 percent and hit only four of 19 from 3-point range. It was uncharacteristic of a Tony Bennett-coached team as the Cavailers are #2 in the country allowing only 55.5 points per game. The last time these teams met was in 2018 and Virginia beat Morgan State by 38 points. Virginia is 7-0 and 5-2 ATS at home this season and Morgan State is winless on the road in six tries. The Bears are 1-5 ATS on the road against teams with winning home records and 1-9 ATS overall following an ATS win. Morgan State comes off an 89-75 loss as a 21-point underdog against James Madison on Friday. The Bears have lost eight of their past 10 games and the only victories were against UMBC and Virginia-Lynchburg. Morgan State allows 79.6 points per game. Lay the points with Virginia.
