Virginia Tech Hokies Betting Preview

The Virginia Tech Hokies (11-15, 10-16 ATS) won three of the last six games, but they did suffer two straight defeats to Virginia and Boston College. Interestingly, Virginia Tech won three of the past four away games, defeating FSU, Virginia, and Notre Dame.

Virginia is averaging 68.7 PPG (333rd) and is allowing 71.9 PPG (184th). The Hokies are getting 33.8 RPG (309th) and are having 13.0 APG (278th). Tobi Lawal is the team’s top scorer with 13.0 PPG, along with a team-high 7.0 RPG. Mylyjael Poteat adds 9.7 PPG, and 4.1 RPG, while Jaden Schutt has 8.5 PPG and 2.9 RPG.

Miami Hurricanes Betting Preview

The Miami Hurricanes (6-20, 9-17 ATS) somehow managed to end a 10-game losing skid with a home win over Syracuse, but quickly returned to losing ways with road defeats to Pittsburgh and Florida State. It’s needless to say Miami is experiencing a disappointing season; the Canes haven’t finished with a winning percentage under .260 since the 1993-94 season (.259).

Miami averages 74.9 PPG (167th) and allows 79.7 PPG (346th). The Hurricanes are 391st in rebounds (31.9) and 286th in assists (12.9). Matthew Cleveland leads the team with 16.3 PPG, while he adds 4.3 RPG. Nijel Pack follows him with 13.9 PPG, 3.0 RPG, and a team-high 4.3 APG, while Lynn Kidd chips in with 11.1 PPG and a team-high 7.2 RPG.

Virginia Tech vs Miami Prediction

Miami won four of the last five H2H duels, but Virginia Tech was victorious in the first meeting of the season, 86-85 winning at home. Each of the past H2H encounters produced 146+ points, and given the current total, I am leaning toward Over in this one.

I am aware the Canes are missing their second-best scorer, but Miami hit Over in 10 of the last 17 games at home. Also, Miami’s defense is allowing nearly 80 points per contest, which is one of the strongest arguments to go with Over.
