Virginia at Virginia Tech

There are lots of ingredients for a low-scoring game tonight in Blacksburg. We have an in-state conference rivalry, which are usually very intense. We have a team in Virginia that is challenged offensively, slows the tempo to a crawl, and utilizes a defense that allows opponents to shoot just 36.4% from the floor, good for No. 6 best in the country. The Cavaliers have amazingly held seven opponents to 45 points or less. Three of those opponents did not make it out of the 30s, including their last opponent, Florida State that managed an ugly 36 points. The Hokies are not exactly a prolific offensive team as they have not topped the 75-point mark in any of their last 10 games. The Cavs are churning out UNDERs at a high rate of return, now at 55-27-2 to the UNDER in their last 84 on the road against a team with a winning home record. Go with the UNDER tonight in Blacksburg.
