Syracuse at Virginia Tech

What can you say about Jim Boeheim? He seems to lose key players every year, but he is a master recruiter that replaces them with ready contributors. Here he is again with his team at 14-0 and ranked #2 in the country. The Hokies are going to have a tough time competing against the better teams in the ACC this year. One indication of that might be their 30-point loss to VCU, which a quality team outside the conference. Tech also lost to a very pedestrian NC Greensboro team. The Hokies will have trouble without Erick Green and his 25 points per game from last season, as he was always there to bail them out. The Cuse is road savvy, and following three or more home tilts, they hit the road by going 25-5 ATS in their last 30. Lay the points, and play on Syracuse.
