The Virginia Cavaliers have been excelling in just about every aspect of the game so far in the college hoops season, and next up on the docket is a road tilt against state rival Virginia Tech. Virginia has had no trouble with the Hokies in the past, dispatching them in each of the last seven times they’ve collided.
- The total has gone OVER in six of Virginia's last eight games after an ATS win.
- Virginia Tech is 5-2 SU in its last seven games.
- The total has gone OVER in six of Virginia Tech's last eight games after losing their previous game.
The Cavaliers rank eighth in Division I in scoring defense and 13th in three-point shooting in the nation en route to collecting 12 consecutive wins. The recent emergence of 7-foot bench center Mike Tobey has given this club a different look lately, with the big man scoring a season-high 16 points against Oakland on Wednesday and 15 in Saturday’s conference-opener against Notre Dame.
Virginia's stifling defense has led to the UNDER becoming a profitable bet as of late, as five out of the Cavaliers' previous seven games have gone below the closing total.
