Virginia at Virginia Tech

Virginia is 7-2 ATS its last nine games and its only loss this season was 68-61 at West Virginia when the Cavaliers had an off-shooting night at just 41.3 percent and they're shooting 47.7 percent for the season. The Cavaliers, as usual, are near the top of the defensive rankings allowing just a .364 field goal percentage and a minuscule 52.8 points per game. Virginia will be focused for this game as it was apparently looking ahead to this matchup when it barely beat Boston College as a 15.5-point favorite on Saturday. Virginia Tech comes off a 68-56 loss at Syracuse as the Hokies were held to 34.6 percent shooting and allowed the Orange 23 of 47 from the floor. The Cavaliers want to avenge an overtime loss to the Hokies the last time these teams met in February. Lay the small number with Virginia.
