Betting Trends for vs
There were a ton of questions on how Virginia Tech will respond under 1st-year coach Mike Young, but they have passed the early eye test as they are sitting at 2-0 with an ACC win and blowout victory. The Hokies had to replace all 5 starters from last year’s team, but the production out of the freshman has been their key to success. South Carolina Upstate has not played a team of Virginia Tech caliber, yet their lone win of the season came against an NAIA team. Expect the Hokies to continue growing the confidence of their young guys, and they should be able to find their stroke early and often at home. Final Score Prediction, Virginia Tech Hokies win and cover ATS 80-50.
