Premium Pick

Virginia is a beast on defense, tops in the ACC allowing 53.3 points per game and tops in field goal shooting allowed, just 38%. They are also No. 1 at defending the three pointer allowing 30%. You would think with that powerhouse defense they'd be great at going UNDER the total....and they are! Virginia is on an 8-3 run UNDER, 4-1 UNDER on the road. In addition, the UNDER is 15-7 in the Cavaliers last 22 road games following three or more consecutive home games. Maryland can play defense, too, 39th in the nation in rebounds. They allow 43% shooting in ACC play and rank sixth at defending the three allowing 33%. Maryland is on a 5-1 run UNDER the total, and the UNDER is 5-0 in the Terrapins last five games following a win. That win was 64-47 over Virginia Tech, allowing 30% shooting from the field and 6-18 from long range. Look for an all out defensive duel here. Play Virginia/Maryland UNDER the Total.
