Virginia was again one of the top defensive teams in the country, allowing only 60.5 points per game and a .416 field goal percentage, and that will be the difference in this matchup as the Cavaliers will slow down the Bobcats, who average 80.9 points and allow 73.3. Virginia is not known for an explosive offense, but the Cavaliers still shoot 38.1% from 3-point distance and 48% overall as they always wait for a good shot. Virginia had to bow out of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament after beating Syracuse 72-68 due to COVID issues. It was its third win in a row after a rough stretch near the end of the regular season. Virginia is 9-3-1 ATS its last 13 games after an ATS loss, and this is a pedigree call with the ACC versus the MAC. Lay the points with Virginia.
