Virginia started out at 5-2 this year, then hit a sketchy run from late November to late January that featured consecutive wins just once. Since then the Cavs are 4-0 with wins over Boston College, Miami, Duke and Georgia Tech in that stretch. 

Matched up against Georgia Tech on Saturday, the Cavaliers posted a 32-19 edge in the first half. Virginia was outscored by three from there but hung on for the 63-53 win. Tops in scoring was Jayden Gardner with 26 points and seven boards.

Over on the Virginia Tech side, they started at 5-0 this year then hit a similarly spotty run from late November to late January—winning consecutive games just once as well. The Hokies are currently on a 5-0 run with wins over Florida State, Georgia Tech, Pitt (twice) and Syracuse. 

In the Syracuse matchup on Saturday, the Hokies notched 39 points in the first half and 32 more from there in a 71-59 win. Keve Aluma led the way on 20 points, and Justyn Mutts added a triple-double with 12 points, 11 assists and 14 boards. 

The Hokies are 2-6 ATS in their last eight after an ATS win and 4-1 ATS in their last five Monday games. Virginia Tech is 4-1 ATS in their last five overall. 

Meanwhile, the Cavaliers are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 Monday games and 3-0-1 ATS in their last four overall. The over is 4-1 in Virginia’s last five overall. 

PICK: I’m going to stay with Virginia Tech in this one. The Hokies are rolling along well during this five-game win streak; they’ve hit 71 or more points in each outing. Virginia isn’t doing too badly on the scoreboard themselves however, with 67 or more points in three of the last four (against some tough teams). 

These squads last met up back on January 12 in a 54-52 Virginia win. I like Virginia Tech to get some revenge here and cover in a fun game to watch.
