Premium Pick

Virginia can become the first ACC team to finish the regular season 9-0 on the road with a win over Louisville. The Cavaliers won the first meeting 74-64 even though the Cardinals shot 50 percent against the best defense in the country. It is unlikely the Cardinals can duplicate that performance against a team that allows only 52.1 points per game and a .375 field goal percentage. Virginia also has its best offense since Tony Bennett took over as coach as they shoot at a 46.3 percent clip, including 38.7 percent from three-point range. The Cavaliers are 26-2 and have won the last five meetings with the Cardinals outright. Virginia annihilated Pittsburgh 66-37 on Saturday, holding the Panthers to 11-of-46 from the field. Play Virginia to win this one straight-up.
