Betting Trends for vs
The Miami Hurricanes are amongst the worst in the ACC this season as they have only won 2 of their 9 conference games, and they once again could be without two of their top players as Kameron McGusty and Chris Lykes sat out their game against North Carolina. The Hokies have been solid in year 1 of Mike Young as they are above the .500 mark in the ACC, and the majority of their success has been on the defensive side of the court as they are holding opponents to an average of 63 PPG. Virginia Tech may be a defensive based team, but they could find success scoring the basketball as Miami ranks 307th in college basketball in points allowed. Virginia Tech has one of the most underrated players in the ACC with Landers Nolley II as he is averaging 18.7 PPG and 5.3 RPG, and I think he has success against the struggling Hurricanes. Final Score Prediction, Virginia Tech Hokies win and cover ATS 72-63.
