Miami vs. Virginia Tech Prediction

I’m rolling with the over here. I just think this is going to be another track meet and Miami couldn’t possibly shoot worse than they did in the second half of that game against Louisville. Virginia Tech has the horses to go with a team like Miami for a full 40 minutes if need be, and I think this ends up being and up and down battle that could come down to who gets the last shot. All in all, give me the over in an offensive clinic.
