Clemson at Virginia

Clemson plays tough defense for Brad Brownell, losing 58-52 to Louisville two games ago. They come off a win over Pitt on the road 71-62. The Tigers are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games. The Tigers have defeated seven ranked Virginia teams over the years, including 2011-12 when Brownell’s team beat the Cavaliers 60-48. Clemson is 5-2 ATS against a team with a winning record and will be fired up to face the #2 team in the country, Virginia. Virginia can play defense too, off a 62-56 win over Notre Dame and a 61-51 win over NC State. I can't see this being an up-tempo battle and the Tigers are 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
