Virginia Tech made a surprising run in the ACC Tournament winning four games in four days culminating in an 82-67 win over Duke in the championship game. However, the Hokies shot nearly 50 percent in the four games and it's questionable whether they can stay that hot while playing on another neutral floor in Milwaukee. Virginia Tech is a 3-point shooting team, but Texas allows just a .318 field goal percentage on 3's and .413 overall. Chris Beard's teams are known for their defense and the Longhorns allow only 59.6 points per game and 28.7 in the first half. The Longhorns do come off three losses, but two of them were to Kansas and Baylor and they went UNDER their last three games. Virginia Tech is 2-6 ATS its last eight NCAA Tournament games and it is 7-3 UNDER overall following a win. Texas is 7-3 UNDER following a loss and has allowed just 38.0 percent shooting its last three games. Take Texas and the first half and game UNDER.
