St. Bonaventure and Virginia will be clashing in the quarterfinals of the NIT on Tuesday, March 22nd.
The tip-off is set for 7:00 ET from John Paul Jones Arena.
The Cavaliers opened up as a 3.5 point favorite and that number has stayed the same in most spots. The total has gone from 126 to 125.
St. Bonaventure Bonnies
Although they did not make it to March Madness, I would not say it has been a bad year for St. Bonaventure. They might not be some dominant teams in college hoops, but I feel they have put forth a solid body of work during the 2021-2022 season.
The Bonnies beat the Oklahoma Sooners on Sunday by a score of 70-68. Now, they will look to keep that up when they face off with this Virginia crew on Tuesday night.
Although the opponent they beat in their last game was not some great team, it was still good to see them beat a bigger program. Throughout the course of the season, they do not always get to face off with those kinds of teams, so it is very important for them when they do get those opportunities, even if it is in the NIT.
The Sooners led the Bonnies by 3 points at the end of the first half, but they came back and outscored them by a 37-32 margin in half number 2. Even if they did not overcome the biggest deficit in the world, it is always good to see a team pick up a come-from-behind victory.
Virginia Cavaliers
By all accounts, it was not a very good season for Virginia no matter how you try and slice it. When this program is right, they are competing for national titles, not playing in the NIT.
The Cavaliers currently have a record of 21-13. Throughout the regular season and even into their conference tournament, I just felt they could have played a lot better than they did. In a rare instance, the ACC was not a very competitive league this season, but they were unable to take advantage of that and finish with a better mark.
This squad has defeated Mississippi State and North Texas in the NIT and now they will look to knock off St. Bonaventure. Their first two wins have not exactly been convincing, but they have gotten the job done, which is all you can ask for.
In their last win, the game was neck-and-neck during regulation and that spilled over into the overtime period. The Cavaliers were just able to make a few more plays than the Mean Green when it counted and walked out of there with a 2-point win.
CBB Betting Trends:
- St. Bonaventure is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games.
- St. Bonaventure is 10-2 SU in their last 12 games.
- Virginia is 4-1 SU in their last 5 games.
- The total has gone under in 6 of Virginia’s last 9 games played on a Tuesday.
Free St. Bonaventure Bonnies vs. Virginia Cavaliers NCAAB Summary:
Often, the games in this tournament are not all that great, but this one intrigues me.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: St. Bonaventure ATS
When you look at just the team names, the common belief may be that Virginia is the much better squad, but that is just not the case right now.
The Bonnies are certainly a capable team and I do feel they can keep it close with this Virginia team that really is not very impressive.
At this point in the season, it is hard for me to have all that much confidence in the Cavaliers laying this spread, even though it is not outrageously high. I could see them winning, but St. Bonaventure covering.
Give me the Bonnies at +3.5 here.
