Miami Hurricanes
Most may have not noticed how successful Miami has been this season, with UVA taking the shine for the ACC. However, Miami is just behind the Cavs, trailing by half a game.
After a pedestrian 3-2 stretch in the middle of the season, Miami has won 6 in a row, including wins at #20 Clemson and throttling Duke 81-59.
Although, you may be asking yourself, why are they getting points from an 11-loss Va Tech team? We’re here to sort that out.
Hurricanes Offense
Expectedly, Isaiah Wong leads the Hurricane offense, averaging 16.4 ppg. Additionally, guard Jordan Miller and forward Norchad Omier are key players.
Miami rank 7th in offensive efficiency and shoot 36.9% from deep, but don’t generate a lot of their points from 3.
Contrary to popular opinion, you can be a high output offense without the trey. Miami is 20th in points per game at 79.7.
Virginia Tech Hokies
Virginia Tech went through one of the roughest stretches in college basketball, losing 7 in a row earlier this season before getting back on track. In their last 8, they’re 5-3 with wins over Duke and #6 UVA.
The Hokies met this Miami squad a few weeks back and met them well, eventually dropping the contest 92-83. Does homecourt change the tide here?
Vegas likes the Hokies, making them 2.5 point favorites. Again, when we get an unranked team, favored at home against a ranked team, it usually signals a good time to buy the unranked squad.
Hokies Defense
Consider for a second that Va Tech lost to Miami in a game where they scored 83. Playing a better defensive game is key here.
Unfortunately, the Hokies rank a mere 176th in defensive efficiency, but have allowed 77.2 ppg over their last five.
Further, they don’t force much in the way of turnovers, ranking 288th in opponent turnovers per possession.
KenPom is further bearish on the Hokie defense, labeling them the 131st best adjusted defense.

Free Miami Hurricanes vs. Virginia Tech Hokies CBB Betting Pick:
Free Spread Prediction: Va Tech -2.5
Almost every stat we can look at tells us Virginia Tech’s defense is in trouble here. Their season-long metrics point don’t show much for hope, especially against Miami’s elite offense.
I still like Va Tech’s number here, but I think the more logical pick points to the over. Outside of their team metrics, betting trends are overwhelmingly in favor of the over and their first game was an absolute barn burner.
